That Shakespeare is some difficult prose!

Make sure you understand the meaning of every word and sentence in it before you start memorizing it. That will make it much easier to remember.

(And please learn the meaning of 'wherefore' in Juliet's soliloquy, while you're at it, so you won't mistakenly think it means 'where are you, Romeo?')

Good luck with it!
