We read so much Shakespeare my senior year and a lot of people bought these books that had the actual text of Shakespeare on the left hand side of the book and a "translation" into plain English on the right side of the book so it wouldn't be just summary. They said they're at all Banres & Nobles, Borders, etc and that it really helped. Personally I just used Sparknotes (as encouraged by my teacher) to get the gist of the story and that let me do a thorough analysis.
BTW: my favorite Shakespeare is Macbeth just because a group of friends and I redid Macbeth "Mafia" style which was so cool and I must say that my rendition of Lady Macbeth going insane and killing herself was oscar worthy
