Abstract:
A Caribbean Accent to Shakespeare’s Voice is a Shakespeare-Made-Easy “translation” that also provides “correction.” For example, Juliet’s lament—“Wherefore art thou Romeo?”—is usually translated, “Where are you Romeo?” The correct paraphrase is “WHY are you Romeo?” This is the only book of its kind because it incorporates all of the following characteristics: It is a book of quotations, interesting stories, and paraphrases or “translations” of many of Shakespeare’s famous utterances and hot topics—from sleep and love to the supernatural—embellished by riveting Caribbean scenes, intriguing characters, and relevant Biblical references.
