So while perusing different sources for my Shakespeare term paper, I discovered my personal heaven in an iPad. That's right, folks: a Shakespeare app!
It is probably the most wonderful thing I have ever discovered. It has his complete works and sonnets with a concordance! AND, if you want to upgrade to pro, you get some kind of "Shakespeare Around the World" option and a section full of quotes said by the Bard.
In each play, there is the Dramatis Personae which is all of the characters with explicit information about every one of them, from their role in the piece to their hair color. Also, they have scene breakdowns that you can refer to if you need help.
Discovering this beautiful thing was fantastic, not just because of my love of Shakespeare, but it really did help get the characters straight in my paper, thanks to the Dramatis Personae. So, if you are a Shakespeare lover or class taker, I would get this app. It's available for iPhone and iPad!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm not taking any more Shakespeare classes as an undergraduate student, but I will definitely download this app on my iPhone to use for my own personal reading and understanding. I'll also probably use it again as a graduate students someday, although I'm sure there will be an even more updated form of this technology by then!
