Click on the title of the play you want, then click on the act and scene. You'll find original Shakespearean language on the left and a modern-day "translation" on the right.
Here are several other really good websites about Shakespeare and his works and his times. Be sure to add ALL THESE to your favorites so you can find them again.

No one is mad at you, Ted. We just want to make sure you are doing your own learning. If someone else does it for you, then you don't get anything out of it.
Find the lines you need by finding the correct act and scene. Then read first the left side and then the right side. The right side is the modern English version. You shouldn't have any trouble with modern English.

To answer these questions about Act 3, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet, let's break them down one by one:
1. Which character seems to want peace and which one seems to want to fight the most?
In Act 3, Scene 1, Benvolio seems to want peace as he tries to prevent the fight between Tybalt and Mercutio. On the other hand, Tybalt seems to want to fight the most, as he seeks revenge against Romeo for attending the Capulet party.
2. What does Mercutio mean when he says, "I have it, and soundly, too. Your houses" (Scene 1, line 104), and what happens to him?
When Mercutio says this line, he is provoking Tybalt to fight. Mercutio is making a pun by referencing the mutual hatred between their families, the Montagues and Capulets. Unfortunately, Mercutio is fatally wounded by Tybalt during the ensuing duel.
3. What does Romeo mean when he says, "O, I am fortune's fool" in line 133 of this scene?
When Romeo says this line, he is expressing his realization that he is a victim of fate or bad luck. He believes that he is being controlled by his destiny, which leads him to unfortunate events like Mercutio's death and his subsequent actions.
4. What is the source of Juliet's conflicting emotions?
Juliet's conflicting emotions primarily arise from the intense and forbidden love she shares with Romeo. She is torn between her love for him and her loyalty to her family, the Capulets, who are feuding with the Montagues. This internal conflict is further exacerbated by the events that unfold throughout the play.
5. Compare Romeo's experiences with his friends and when he's with Juliet. What is he like when he is with her? What is he like without her?
When Romeo is with his friends, he tends to be more light-hearted and jokey, showcasing his witty and playful side. However, when he is with Juliet, he becomes more poetic, romantic, and passionate. Without Juliet, Romeo appears to be melancholic and often indulges in impulsive actions driven by his emotions.
6. Discuss Mercutio's behavior. Do you think he would make a good friend? Why or why not? How responsible is he for what happens in scene 1?
Mercutio is known for his quick wit, humor, and adventurous spirit. While he can be an entertaining and loyal friend, his behavior can also be impulsive, reckless, and prone to provoking unnecessary conflicts. Whether he would make a good friend depends on one's perspective. Regarding the events in Act 3, Scene 1, Mercutio's aggressive behavior towards Tybalt escalates the tension and ultimately leads to his own death. Thus, he bears some responsibility for the tragedy that unfolds in this scene.
