Useful Hyperlinks


What I have included here are a variety of websites that will assist in your study of William Shakespeare's tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet.


It would be beneficial to look through each of the study sites to see which ones suit your style of study most accurately.


Also included are sites that allow you to complete online quizzes that will test your understanding of the play.

This website contains the full script of the play, along with a modern day translation.
This would be useful to anyone who is feeling a little overwhelmed by the concept of reading a play written in Elizabethan English.
Be aware though that you will need to also be able to quote from the original and discuss the original :)
