Blog #5- Shakespeare Translation

For this week’s blog, I want you to select 10 consecutive lines from Act 1 of Romeo and Juliet to translate. You must first put the 10 lines that you are translating from the play down in italics in your response and then follow it with your translation. For example:


Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break now new mutiny…..


Two equally wealthy households

In Verona, where the story is,

From an old argument now a new fight occurs….


Good luck, and you may use any tool to help you.
