Read aloud: Shakespeare's works are mostly plays, which makes us understand that he wrote a type of narrative that should be spoken and not read silently. Knowing this information allows the reader to better understand what is written, reading aloud, obeying all the punctuation of the text and the intonation that the characters are using. This is also true for poems, since poems are meant to be recited.

Using a dictionary: Shakespeare's works were written hundreds of years ago. From the time when Shakespeare wrote to the present, the English language has changed a lot, which has meant that some words are no longer used and become totally unknown to our generation. For this reason, it is important that when reading a Shakespeare work you use a dictionary to know the meaning of words that are unfamiliar to you.

Research on contracted words: Shakespeare used to use many contracted words in his poems, so that his rhyme scheme was not impaired. These words are written with the lack of a letter which totally modifies your writing and consequently your pronunciation, making them often unknown. For this reason, it is important that you search for those words.

What does the phrase,"Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly, there are thousand steps to take before you get there," mean?
olga2289 [7]
When you interpret a phrase or quote it's how you take it, so you break it down to find it's meaning:

"Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly," (sad things don't just come out of nowhere), "there are thousand steps to take before you get there" (everything you do leads up to a moment). So the quote means,

Everything that happens in your life; every movement and every breath, leads to the moments; the moments you don't want to have, but you have to have. These moments are the sad, but hard moments. Every moment of our lives matter. Frankly, the impossible moments might drive you crazy, but you have to have those moments in order to get to the happy moments. Therefore I know the meaning of the quote, "Such a sorrow doesn't come suddenly, there are thousand steps to take before you get there," means that most of the moments in life are the good ones, but sad things have to happen- moments lead to that event, because time exists. Time is precious so cradle it; live your life as though you could fly.
