Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: The Manga Edition Book

This book is based on a tragic story about two star-crossed lovers taking away their life. Juliet had a plan to be with Romeo but the plan never got around to Romeo. The plan was to drink a vile that would make everyone think she was dead but really she was asleep. When Romeo heard of this he had not got Juliets letter explaining the situation so he went to her "death bed" and killed himself right before death took him Juliet woke up from her sleep to see him die. Juliet was astonished and took the same blade and took her life as well. The images helped understand more about this classic novel. Since the language is in Shakespearean, the pictures helped balance out with the language used. I would most definitely recommend reading this edition before reading the original because it is more simple and gives you a better idea of the story. In my opinion, I think that Shakespearean books should be seen and not read, because it is hard to read but easier to see and imagine. It helped me a lot because I find it difficult to understand the meaning from the words, so this graphic novel helped me understand because of the emotion from the characters.
