PERSONAL IMPRESSION

• I am not a fan of Shakespeare. I found the
  writing in this book, too small and very
  difficult to read. I am convinced that the
  information in the book would be helpful for
  anyone needing to know facts about Shakespeare.

  nurse report-falsely-that Juliet is dead and
  thus seal Romeos tragic fate?

USING THE WWW RESULTS

• ANSWERS
• 1 HENRY V1 AND HENRY V
• ACT 4 SCENE 5
• I found man web-sites about Shakespeare on the
  internet, however, I was not able to find
  specific information about these two questions. I
  found using this reference book was much easier
  than using the internet. I used Google as my
  search engine and then went to Shakespeare.
