This is a re-reading but the first time with this particular edition. The Royal Shakespeare Company Modern Library edition is just beautifully clear. When I picked this up I just had to buy it and now intend to get hold of them all.
It's the combination of modern font, clear, unfussy layout and the obvious accessibility of the notes on the page that make it so much easier to understand and enjoy.
The scholarship brings out all the earthy, bawdy double meanings and brings old Shakespeare to life.

I haven't read this since high school. I remember enjoying it, but found I enjoyed it a bit more this time. The first blush of young infatuation. Love at first sight. Family feuds. And death. The play that spawned a thousand movies and has set an unrealistic, strangely morbid bar for teens everywhere. I would blame Leonardo DiCaprio but I know this obsession was there long before our pal Leo caused millions of ladies to swoon. The family conflicts are so outdated in this day and age, but the insanity of pubescent hormones are alive and well even now. Read it, debate it, perform it--it's a classic for a reason.
