According to me, the best and greatest Shakespearean Play is Julius Caesar.

I like all that I've read, really. I guess Hamlet is my favorite.

Of the ones I've read (R&J, Macbeth, Hamlet, Caesar, and The Comedy of Errors), I enjoyed Macbeth the most.
Caesar is still pretty awesome, though. That monologue by Antony over the corpse of Caesar gives me chills every time I read it.

I really love Macbeth. A Midsummer Night's Dream used to be my favorite, but I recently wrote a research paper on that one, and it completely ruined it for me. . . I hope I never have to look at that play again. crying

Hamlet is the greatest Shakespeare play ever. Everyone dies, and Ophelia was the only character with a sane mind, but it was very well written, and the characters fit perfectly into their respective roles.

It would have to be a tie between Hamlet and Macbeth. The latter is the next piece of literature that I'll be doing in class, although I have already read it.
I prefer his tragedies to his comedic pieces, so King Lear and Julius Caesar join the list of ones I like.
I did a Midsummer Night's Dream last year... Never want to do it again. The activities and essays and all the rest kind of ruined it for me.

It is a tie between Hamlet and Macbeth for me. I also liked THe Merchent of Venice too.

It most definitely would have to be Hamlet for me. The character development and so much of the mystery surrounding many of the situations that still linger today... are always intriguing to muddle over. The comedy that belies a lot of what is being said, 'specially on Hamlet's part, always makes me chuckle inside. He was always fun with Polonius.

My favorite is Twelfth Night.
Well, I wouldn't necessarily say it is the "greatest" of all his works, because certainly ol' Billy wrote some that were far more profound and touching, but nonetheless, it is MY favorite. smile

Hamlet is the best, but Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite, and I think the funniest.

KadajNu It is a tie between Hamlet and Macbeth for me. I also liked THe Merchent of Venice too. I couldn't agree more. Both are exquisite. I really enjoy reading them over and over again.

I have only read a few of the plays as of yet; Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Ceasar and Romeo and Juliet and so far I have loved all of them 3nodding My favorite, though, would have to be A Midsummer Night's Dream. I did get my name from it, after all biggrin
I'm looking for recommendations of which play I should read next. I welcome PM's with a suggestion smile

You may think me as odd but I think that The Tempest is the best Shakespearean play. My reason being is that the play was performed for the theatre and to reinact a storm is the most difficult and technically challenging.
Also it holds the most significance.
