Time to bring some culture to the great unwashed of the clubhouse:

Simply out of interest, what's your favourite Shakespeare play?

Personally I like Othello best for its storyline.

Favorite, or least hated??

I prefer the slow mental instability and hostility displayed in MacBeth

Winter's Tale is the most watchable, but I'd tie MacBeth and Othello for favourite. MacBeth would win it if it weren't for the hideous "I'm bored of writing this now" cop out of an ending, it just doesn't do justice to the delicate buildup that precedes it...

Mmmmmm, culture flavoured...

To watch, Henry V or Othello.

To read, Hamlet. No one ever does Hamlet justice, either on stage or screen, so leaving him to the imagination is best.

That is why I like Othello, as well, but Othello beats Macbeth by merit of having the most delightfully evil character in Iago.

I always enjoy Alls well that ends well, and the Taming of the Shrew is a good read.

hmmm, I can't decide, I love all of the plays! (Yes I know, i'm a crazy literature geek) My Least favorite would have to be Cymbeline.

Comedy: "Twelfth Night"

Tragedy: "Hamlet" - The story of three sons all trying to avenge their
father's deaths. All of them suceed, sort of.

Best Characters: Villain - Iago & Lady Mac Beth
Sympathetic fool - Laertes & Polonius
Unsympathetic fool - Tybalt

King Lear

The Merchant of Venice. But I also love MacBeth and King Lear.

s.xkitten · Post by **s.xkitten** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 12:23 am

Hamlet, MacBeth, Much Ado About Nothing (for personal reasons, not necessarily his best writing), and Twelfth Night

EvilPurpleMonkey · Post by **EvilPurpleMonkey** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 2:55 am

Hamlet or King Lear.

I've only read about five or so, and only seen one performed, so not the most objective, but I'm gonna go with Hamlet. As You Like It comes in second.
