How do I understand Shakespeare?

The best way to approach Shakespeare is to read a synopsis first. Understand the plot of the play before you begin reading it. This way you focus on understanding the language as you read the play and can therefore look for meaning behind it. Another great method is to watch a few adaptations to help you see different interpretations of the text. It is vital to remember that Shakespeare plays are meant to be watched, not just read.
