Does /lit/ like Shakespeare? I've only read the stories

You'll want to read Richard II before you read Henry IV Part 1 and 2, and then Henry V. The four plays are linked together, and, as it were, tell a single story about the rise of Henry of Monmouth and the House of Lancaster.

My personal favorite is probably Henry V or Hamlet.

Shakespeare's best play is Anthony and Cleopatra, and Cleopatra may be the most vivid character in Shakespeare, narrowly beating Hamlet and Falstaff.

I'm a big fan of Richard III.

My absolute nigger. I thought I was the only one who loved Antony and Cleopatra.

The King Henry stories are sandwiched in between King Richard II and III. Gonna be hard to put down when I get to that part!

Is this the same cleopatra refrenced in pop culture as muh most beautiful women ever?

Just started Troilus and Cressida. I like it so far, but I've only just finished the first act.

>tfw Thersites is literally you

I've read many of his plays but I honestly can't say that I like him. I don't know what it is, either. People talk about how beautiful and intense his plays are, but they feel dry and sterile to me. I do like Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet, at least. I think I'd appreciate him more in general if I were able to take a class on him.

Personal favorite: Hamlet
You should read the Henriad in internal chronological order.

You should watch an adaptation, or listen to an audio version.

Cleopatra wasn't the most beautiful woman ever. Looks wise, she wasn't much to write home about. Apparently she had the best personality ever, though. Oh, and she apparently gave the best blowjobs of all time.

I'm actually not memeing.

I like a Midsummer Night's Dream because I like the mix of Greek mythology setting and fairy fantasy. I also liked The Tempest because it has a wizard.

>Legend has it that Egyptian queen Cleopatra blew more than 100 Roman noblemen during a marathon orgy. The Greeks knew her as Meriochane ("she who gapes wide for 10,000 men")
What a gal
