> I would like to see Romeo and Juliet translated to modern English. We are working on the play in my world literature class and a translation would greatly help me. I have to do numerous projects on the play. I understand some of what he's saying, but not too much of it. If anyone would know what exactly Shakespeare is saying throughout the play, please post it as soon as you can. Also, does anyone know the 2 other ways Shakespeare spelled his last name (Shakespeare)? I only know of the one.

Barron's has a great side-by-side translation that was very helpful to me when I read Romeo and Juliet. Here's a link that can help you.
