About Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This application brings to you William Shakespears’s famous play Romeo and Juliet with fully annotated, with an introduction, by Burton Raffel with an easy by Harold Bloom.Written four centuries ago, in a fairly early form of Modern English, Romeo and Juliet is a gorgeously passionate, witty, and complex text. Many of the play’s social and historical underpinnings necessarily need, for the modern reader, the kinds of explanation offered in the Introduction. But what needs even more, and far more detailed, explanation are the play’s very words. Toward the end of act 1, scene 1, Romeo and his loyal friend, Benvolio (the name means, in Italian “well loved,” just as Romeo’s name, in Italian, means “pilgrim”), spar wittily about the nature of love:
Benvolio Alas that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof.
Romeo Alas that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should without eyes see pathways to his will.
(lines 78–81)
For comprehension of these lines—completely typical of the play’s language—the modern reader needs help. In Benvolio’s two lines,
gentle = courteous, noble
in his view = in his [Cupid’s] appearance (“his” frequently means “its’”)
rough = disagreeable, harsh
in proof = how it turns out/is experienced.
And in Romeo’s two lines,
view is muffled still = whose sight is forever/always blinded
without eyes: Cupid is blind
his will = his pleasure, desire.
The modern reader or listener of course will better understand this brief exchange in context, as the drama unfolds. But without full explanation of words that have over the years shifted in meaning, neither the modern reader nor the modern listener is likely to be equipped for full comprehension. I believe annotations of this sort create the necessary bridges, from Shakespeare’s four-centuries-old English across to ours.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
