Hamlet is considered the best work of literature ever written.

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

>>9593366
Like?

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

>>9593359
Metamorphoses
Illiad
if influence count
those two and Helen in Egypt and Dubliners
if you disregard influence.

>>9593359
The Divine Comedy is better.

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

I didnt know you guys read Italian!!

>>9593503
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)

>>9593503
Because it is a much more original book, enriching and its language is at the level of Hamlet.

>>9593359
I'm pretty sure that the absolute, best work of literature ever is my diary

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

>>9593550
What is?

>>9593550
This that would be Richard the 3rd or Henry the 5th or The Tempest.

>>9593678

Titus Andronicus

>>9593707
That's supposedly his worst play and it is in terms of language but the story is pretty great desu

>>9593715

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

>>9593359
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.

>>9593726

>he still thinks there is something other than shit posting

>>9593720
I'll have to re-read it and look into Spenser I guess. Nice insight anon.
