Hey all, I've managed to find the original Shakespearean texts for Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet with translations, so that you can clear some confusion about the language. But really, what shakespeare wrote was not very different from the way we use our language now, and that is why so many people in the world are still reading him 400 years on.
One of my favourite poet, T.S. Eliot, said that the poem "should be enjoyed even before it is understood", and I think it's the same with all arts. Hear the rhythm in the lines that the actors speak, and appreciate the colourful varied ways in which he describes things. I actually don't have a high opinion of the lit text that you guys are reading now; it's only a start to get you introduced to his art!
