Hello there! :)

When you paraphrase a text, you restate the writer's words using your own words. A pharaphrase that maintains the meaning of the text and includes keys details.

When paraphrasing Shakespeare's writing, look for:

  • unfamiliar and outdated language
  • awkward arrangements of words (syntax)

When paraphrasing Shakespeare's writing, restate it using:

  • synonyms and comtemporary language
  • standard sentence patterns

Hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

It's using different words to express the meaning of something to make it more clear
