Does anyone have the Shakespeare flowchart? Would like to read/watch all his plays I haven't yet and just wanted to peek at it.

Also, Shakey general? What are people's favourites of his?

The best thing Shakespeare ever wrote was Julius Caesar

Not realizing this is the ultimate pleb litmus test

The only two I've read in high school so far...

I freaking loved Julius Caesar so much I decided to study Roman history and take Latin after wasting a year on Spanish. The play was so drama filled and I loved it when Cassius acted like a little bitch and Brutus always told him to shut up.

Lucky you. I read about five of the plays in high school but never got to Caesar. I felt betrayed by my English teachers when I finally got around to reading it a few years later.

why don't they teach titus andronicus in high school instead of r&j?

>>3179720

>> No.3180121

Everyone is forgetting my favorite...

Titus Andronicus. The most angst filled play you will ever read. It's like if you take all the sadism from /b/ and then based all that sadism in a really interesting and well organized plot. No one ever talks about it though... QQ

And fuck the Julie Taymor movie. She is bad and should feel bad.
