Get in your time machine then go back to the time of Julius and then William. Of course after that you have to go to the '70s and get stoned.

make a fake play about it

Go to SparkNotes, they give you summaries and facts about it. I found it helpful when I went to school but it's not a substitute for being ignorant and not reading/studying it yourself!

Shawn: Shakespeare is hard to read and understand at times, but the story behind each of his plays constitute great literature and it pays to read at least one of them. I suggest you use one of the services like SparkNotes or Cliff Notes to help you understand the intricate story and the plot. If you will not read the play, you really need a better understanding of the action than I can give you here, so at least read the notes on it and then try to read through at least sections of the play. Best of luck to you. Rob R
