Why isn't Shakespeare considered a fantasy writer?

I mean... Oberon, Titania and the other fairies in Midsummer, Hamlet's ghost dad, the three witches in Macbeth, the sorcerers/sprites/spirits in The Tempest... etc.

Genres didn't really exist back then. They're marketing terms, same way Shakespeare is lumped with Harper Lee as 'The Classics'

You mean once enough people've jerked off onto it that the thing itself has been totally obscured by a big pile of wank?

Tragedy, comedy, morality play, pantomime/mummers; they existed.
>>8304521
That's genre fiction/literary fiction, not the concept of genre as a whole.

Kurosawa.

One or two supernatural motifs does not a "fantasy" make.
