Shakespeare on Genius.com

I'm of the firm belief that if you're going to read Shakespeare, you should read with annotations. Shakespeare interjects too much context, and indeed sometimes writes things in such a roundabout way, that the text alone winds up only revealing part of the picture. Or at least it does for me.

But annotated Shakespeare tends to be the domain of books that you have to go out and rent from the library, if the library has them at all—and there's no way of determining whether the annotated edition you're getting is any good.

Genius.com, however—yeah, the rap lyrics website—hosts a bunch of Shakespeare plays, and the more popular ones even have pretty good, comprehensive annotations! Problem solved. Here's Hamlet.
