You need heavily-annotated editions and plenty of patience! Written by Sheena (6/12/2003 8:43 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, GR: Indeed it is!, penned by Anne Charlotte

] How do you cope with such difficult texts?

I get individual editions of the plays with lengthy footnotes. I like the Oxford World's Classics series (I've linked Hamlet). It takes time to read all the commentary, but it's the only way to really understand the text, even for a native speaker.

Hamlet (Oxford World's Classics)
