No Fear Shakespeare
October 6, 2009Click HERE to access Sparknotes’ NFS series for Macbeth.
This is NOT a study guide, rather it is a modern English translation for Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. On one side, you’ll see the original Shakespearean text; on the other, you’ll see the modern translation. Use this resource if you are getting bogged down in the hard-to-understand Elizabethan language.
