William Shakespeare


What are your favorites from the greatest playwright of all time (also, from his poems and sonnets as well, if any)?

My favorite Shakespeare plays are:

Titus Andronicus, King Lear, Pericles, and Measure for Measure. I usually favor the Tragicomedies more; but I hated The Merchant of Venice.

It's a tossup between Macbeth and Hamlet.

I also love love love his sonnets, mainly 116, 2, and 33.

I love, love, love THE WINTER'S TALE. The idea that you can be forgiven even after doing something unforgivable carries a lot of emotional weight with me.

KING LEAR too. It's so strange and so powerful.

And LOVE'S LABORS LOST. The language is so beautiful that it's a musical comedy even without music.

They are my three favorites, but I love practically all of Shakespeare.

I would have to say that The Tempest is probably my favorite from him.

The first one I saw was A Comedy Of Errors, when I was 9.
