Hamlet is considered the best work of literature ever written

Hamlet is considered the best work of literature ever written.

Do you agree?

Considered by who? Hamlet is great but I think there are two or three works I'd personally put above it.

Like?

I think it is definitely one of the best in English.

Metamorphoses
Illiad
if influence count
those two and Helen in Egypt and Dubliners
if you disregard influence.

The Divine Comedy is better.

Why? Other Than Terza rima being elegant and convient, why?

I didnt know you guys read Italian!!

Because it's an encyclopedical and transcendental work of art that through its 99 cantos goes through almost all of western thought

If I could only read one book for the
Rest of your life it would probably be this. (also if you don't know italian I could see why you think it's no big deal)

Because it is a much more original book, enriching and its language is at the level of Hamlet.

I'm pretty sure that the absolute, best work of literature ever is my diary

B-but it's not even the best Shakespeare.

What is?

This that would be Richard the 3rd or Henry the 5th or The Tempest.

Titus Andronicus

That's supposedly his worst play and it is in terms of language but the story is pretty great desu

That's because needle-dick academics don't understand it.
It's a parody of Spenser.

>shit posting is considered the best Shakespeare play

Never change

If the goal of literature is to bring a character to life, then yes. Hamlet himself has a weird kind of consciousness endowed on him by his creator.

>he still thinks there is something other than shit posting

I'll have to re-read it and look into Spenser I guess. Nice insight user.

...

Good at the time and influential, but has nothing that hasn't been done better by now.

>nothing that hasn't been done better by now
What did he mean by this?

>has nothing that hasn't been done better by now.
lmao shut up you oat

very true.

Coriolanus.

i think his no.1 was actually antony and cleopatra

one of two, at least
