Macbeth, Three Column Edition (Serafita Books)

This is the only book of the play to allow students to understand the meaning of every line of the text. The notes in the Three Column Edition are the most complete and accurate that you can find. Unlike other books, the Three Column Editions will not fail to explain the most difficult lines and phrases. The paraphrased version of the play is on the left pages facing the original play and notes, which are on the right pages. This paraphrased version has an in-depth understanding of the play that allows students to appreciate the artistry of Shakespeare's stylized language. The 93 pages of student resources include a detailed summary of the play, a brief summary, a list of quotes from the play arranged by theme with commentary and paraphrased versions of the quotes, a glossary, and a section that explains personification, which is the most difficult part of understanding Shakespeare’s language.
