    What is Shakespeare's best work?

    Recently, I've begun to read into the work of Shakespeare. I like his mid-life work, including Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.

    In your opinion, what is Shakespeare's best work?

    I've researched Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth and Othello.

    All of these are great, at the end theres always a tradgedy, lol.

    My favourite was Othello though, could somewhat relate.
    I wish i could have done hamlet too, but schools finished now so im not interested anymore :p

    which is his best is hard to choose, they're all good and have different scenarios.

    How can people actually like his stuff? To me its the worst writing ever. And to the fact that nobody actually knows for a fact that he wrote his own stuff because he lacked proper education, i don't even think it is his work. But i can't prove either side, so that argument is invalid.

    Conspiracy much? Jesus, give up. As well, his writing is fantastic - maybe you just can't appreciate it. Also, concering your stupid conspiracy, if nobody can "prove" that he wrote it - as it's practically impossible to "prove" that considering the time - and you can't disprove it, then you say he wrote it because it clearly says he is the author. Or should we start questioning every peice of literature?

    I never said there was a conspiracy, but since you said it sure. You can't just say someone wrote something because they put their name on it. If i put my name on the bible, does that mean i wrote it? Nooo. I am simply stating that someone that had no real education can write like that.

    Lol, yes they can..

    Also, note that education back then was far different than it is now. You assume it is required to have degrees to be intelligent and capable, while I beg to differ.

    Also, I liked Midsummer Nights Dream.

    It is a conspiracy whether you like it or not. Furthermore, the fact that when it was PRODUCED his name was on it legitimately is ample evidence. Also, many philosophers and great thinkers were very poorly educated.

    His shortest play, Macbeth, I've studied that for months in English literature.
    Although much ado about nothing is also a good read. Romeo and julliet is good, but overated, and midsummer nights dream is also too.

    Twelfth Night

    Didn't like Romeo and Juliet at all, tried to be a comedy and a tragedy and fails at both.

    No, the only education (from schooling) he had was 7 years of grammar school. I am not relating education with degrees, but in order for you to write like that you have to have some kind of education, more than some grammar school.

    All the philosophers i have learned about have had plenty of education. Marx, Plato, Aristotle, and the like, as for the philosophers.
