I am going to read only one of his plays. Which one should I read?

Shakespear was Jewish.

Shakespeare was Jewish.

>Woman bad
>Somebody goes insaaaaane
>Everybody dies at the end
wow, real literary genius, much bard

Would Cardenio and Love's Labors Won be top tier Shakespeare or be his shit plays everyone ignores?

> it's yet another self pitying jester character

AGAIN? What the fuck is his problem? Can he really only do one type of comic relief character?

Post good analyses of Shakespeare.

itt post the geniuses throughout history. also fyi the word genius should be used sparingly and that someone may be great but not a genius. for exampie, Nietzsche was great but not a genius.

Wiliam Shakespeare
Dante Alighieri
John Milton
Johann Sebastian Bach
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Alfred North Whitehead
Samuel Beckett

Shakespeare. Dislike him. A plagiarist that had to invent words to compensate for his poor grasp of the English language, not to mention that he was a pirate

>bated breath
>break the ice
>be all and end all
>good riddance
>in my heart of hearts
>into thin air
>neither rhyme nor reason
>seen better days
>too much of a good thing
>what's done is done
>heart upon my sleeve
Fucking HACK

>I rather would entreat thy company
>To see the wonders of the world abroad,
>Than, living dully sluggardized at home,
>Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.

NEETs BTFO'd by ol' willy shakes

Now that the dust has settled.. can we all agree that he was a hack?

to have an honest version of Shakespeare?

Why even try being original when Shakespeare has already written every character? Every thing else is derivative.

> Joan of Arc was a witch slut who summoned demons and fucked all her officers

What was his problem? Was the eternal Anglo still butthurt even 200 years later?

He really was the GOAT

>Bill sits down with his quill and writes for the day
>He closes his eyes and imagines what new tragedy will unfold, what the actors on the stage must play
>He kicks the black girl under his desk to write another page
>He studies it, old Bill, and exhales a breath of exuberance
>It is yet another play with a Moor character
>The Moor rapes and kills a dainty white woman, it is magnificent
Truly the best.

Why can the Bible (the literal word of God) be translated to modern English but not Shakespeare? The distortion that happens on the former is much greater.

Why does it feel like this guy was the J. K. Rowling/Dan Brown/Stephen King of his time?

Only angloids (monolingual) prefer this fraud. Everyone else knows Dante is superior. When will the Anglo propaganda stop?

all of his works

What's the appeal of this guy? NONE of his books are patrician
