Where do I start with him?
Where do I start with him?
anywhere
Romeo & Juliet > Hamlet > Macbeth > Othello
Troilus and Cressida, obviously.
His best comedy by far. He is practically trolling the classical hero by reversing the characters. Akhilleus is a bastard. Hektor is chasing a fool night that makes fun of him. And as a bonus conversation topic, you can argue that by the slow reveal of the female character, it may have been written for female actor.
Hektor is chasing a fool knight!
>i blame wine
This
Don't forget the sonnets
Plus there's Thersites
Never forget the sonnets!
...
they're pretty gay, tho
then when they're not gay, it's about him liking brown girls
I'LL STICK WITH PETRARCH, THANK YEW
The tragedies, I'd say. Then move on to the comedies and maybe the histories if you can still handle more.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
ANNOTATED
Start with the new emoji versions of Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear. The original English is outdated.
>A Midsummer Night's Dream
tfw a society is so retarded that they actually enjoy seeing plays about fictional ordinary people sucking up to fictional kings and queens
boring piece of shit minus the parts with Bottom, and maybe even then
>it's about him liking brown girls
a true patrician
>Macbeth
>Not the objective best
>mfw
That's a really poor way to read that play.
mah nigga
Wez wus Shakespeare an shieeett
King Lear is his masterpiece
thats not how u spell Henry IV Part 1
Buy an edition of his complete works (Norton or the like).
Read everything (plays and sonnets).
Masturbate furiously.
Plus, Ulysses is one of his high-tier master of puppets.
Ideally, read Romeo and Juliet and Troilus and Cressida in extension of each other.
