You were given a list of things to do before and during your reading as steps to take to better understand shakespeare explain some of those ideas here and why they would you improve your comprehension

Read aloud: Shakespeare's works are mostly plays, which makes us understand that he wrote a type of narrative that should be spoken and not read silently. Knowing this information allows the reader to better understand what is written, reading aloud, obeying all the punctuation of the text and the intonation that the characters are using. This is also true for poems, since poems are meant to be recited.

Using a dictionary: Shakespeare's works were written hundreds of years ago. From the time when Shakespeare wrote to the present, the English language has changed a lot, which has meant that some words are no longer used and become totally unknown to our generation. For this reason, it is important that when reading a Shakespeare work you use a dictionary to know the meaning of words that are unfamiliar to you.

Research on contracted words: Shakespeare used to use many contracted words in his poems, so that his rhyme scheme was not impaired. These words are written with the lack of a letter which totally modifies your writing and consequently your pronunciation, making them often unknown. For this reason, it is important that you search for those words.

    i got this from a website called shmoop. i will give you a link and i will show you half of it. hope it : )

explanation:

mrs. mallard has a heart condition, which means that if she's startled she could die. so, when news comes that her husband's been killed in an accident, the people who tell her have to cushion the blow.

mrs. mallard's sister josephine sits down with her and dances around the truth until mrs. mallard finally understands what happened. the deceased mr. mallard's friend, richards, hangs out with them for moral support.

richards originally found out because he had been in the newspaper headquarters when a report of the accident that killed mr. mallard, which happened on a train, came through. richards waited for proof from a second source before going to the mallards' to share the news.

when mrs. mallard finds out what happened she acts differently from most women in the same position, who might disbelieve it. she cries passionately before deciding to go to her room to be by herself.

in her room, mrs. mallard sits down on a comfy chair and feels completely depleted. she looks out the window and looks out at a world that seems alive and fresh. she can see the sky coming between the rain clouds.

mrs. mallard sits still, occasionally crying briefly like a kid might.

the narrator describes her as youthful and pretty, but because of this news she looks preoccupied and absent.

she seems to be holding out for some kind of unknown news or knowledge, which she can tell is approaching.

mrs. mallard breathes heavily and tries to resist before succumbing to this unknown thing, which is a feeling of freedom.

acknowledging freedom makes her revive, and she doesn't consider whether she should feel bad about it.

mrs. mallard thinks to herself about how she'll cry when she sees her husband's dead body and how much he loved her. even so, she's kind of excited about the chance to make her own decisions and not feel accountable to anyone.

mrs. mallard feels even more swept up by the idea of freedom than the fact that she had felt love for her husband.
