Hey, as far as I know only one person recommended it, and I've seen someone else talk about it in the thread where the original chart was made.Other than that, no one has mentioned it, but I will definitely remove it if no one has objections. (Unless it is particularly disturbing in such a way that it HAS to be on the list or something like that.)

After hearing so many discussions about Shakespeare, and going back and forth between 'it might be good enough for this list' and 'it should not be on here', I'm now deciding to remove any Shakespeare play from this list. They might be the first ones, they might be dark, but they are nowhere near as dark as other works on this chart.
(And thank you!)

Question: should Death on the Install Plan stay? I'm inclined to remove it, since it is dark but not really disturbing.
