Theres the faggot phrase again. Opinion auto defaults to wrong. Keep pretending.

For me it's Richard II

Just finished Macbeth, do I jump in?

Am I the only one who finds Othello more interesting than Iago?

It's a good thing we've had centuries to actually figure out it's Lear or Hamlet

I think what ruined it for me in highschool was reading it as a play about jealousy. When I read it for a Shakespeare class, what unlocked it for me was it's a play about idealism vs pragmatism

Also Othello because it's hilarious reading about white women loving BBC even back in the 1400's and white men seething about it

That's only a controversial statement on /LIT/
Lear, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, are respectable choices
