A Great Teaching Tool,
By
This review is from: Macbeth (No Fear Shakespeare Graphic Novels) (Paperback)
I purchased No Fear Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet, and I think they are all great. I was looking for supplementary materials for teaching the original plays. The graphic novels are written in modern day English, which gives the reader another take on what is being said. Also, the graphics are great and the play is covered in good detail, but not too much detail. It suits my purposes!

No need to avoid Shakespeare anymore,
By David E. Levine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Macbeth (No Fear Shakespeare) (Paperback)
I consider myself to be a reasonably literate individual but, I have always avoided Shakespeare since I cannot make sense of the text. But now, I have fianally read Macbeth because, with "No Fear Shakespeare," each left hand page is written in the original whereas the right hand page is a plain English translation. So now I know, that when a porter says "it makes him stand to and not stand to," he is not referring about someone standing up on his feet. Instead, it means that alcoholic drinks make a man have an erection but then, lose the erection. How true is that and how cool is it to be able to understand that? Seriously, Macbeth is a great tale of ambition, deception and conscience. Thanks to this innovative book, I was able to read the original, then, after reading each page, I referred to the translation so I could understand. It was fun to read lines in the original, try to work out what I thought it meant and then check whether I was right. I recommend this as a way finally read and appreciate Macbeth.

This review is from: Macbeth (No Fear Shakespeare) (Paperback)
The translation is clear and it helps immensely that it is side by side with the actual text. That way it's easy to fully understand the meaning behing Shakespeare's language.

Thumbs Up from the Teacher,
By TN Teach - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Macbeth (No Fear Shakespeare) (Paperback)
After struggling with my decision to use this book with my senior students, I am finding they are less hesitant to read AND they are enjoying the concepts in this drama! If it were an honors class, I think I would make students read the original text, but for my regular classes, I am very happy with my decision because they are GETTING IT. We are reading the authentic Shakespeare for the really good lines/soliloquys that shouldn't be missed. This is much better than other renditions that simply paraphrase as far as comprehension is concerned.
