What are annotations in Shakespeare?

An annotation is a note made by an editor of a text, either commenting on a technical matter or on the substance of the passage. Annotations to Shakespeare's texts usually indicate when an editor has made a choice between different original versions of the text, has substituted his own words for those in the original texts, explains the meanings of words which are archaic or used in an unusual sense, explains difficult passages, explains allusions and so on. Of course, every edition of the play will have a different set of annotations, as every editor will want to comment on different matters. For example, in The Tempest, edited by David Pitt, Ariel's line in Act I Scene 2 "to fetch dew from the still-vext Bermoothes" is annotated with the note that "Bermoothes" is an "obsolete form for Bermudas". The editor of the Oxford Shakespeare, Stephen Orgel, changes the spelling to "still-vexed Bermudas" and does not make an annotation about it.
