So can someone help with this and tell me anything you know about it? It would really be helpful, thanks!

Like a "plot analysis" or character analysis most of your friends will be reading those and not reading the book anyway, just look at them to get an idea of things. Don't read the actual book with those though

It will show you the normal text on the left and the modern version of it on the right. Very, very helpful for Shakespeare.
