Just wondering about this..............

Btw i left out all the useless ones.

Other: The Tempest

Oh fiddlesticks

Picked King Lear.

I know it's not the "best" play, but I have a real fondness for the lyrical language in Richard II.

Richard III

Henry V here.
Havent read any of the Richards.

Macbeth

You haven't read all of the plays but claim to have cut out the "useless" ones? Tsk.

Julius Caesar.

R&J

Probably because I've taught it for 13 years and still haven't grown tired of it. Easily the most accessible of WS's plays.

Hamlet a close second.

Yeah R&J is probably the most well known to those who dont even know Shakespeare as evidenced by this list.

The Tempest.

There are several others I might have chosen -- Henry V, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, or The Tempest -- but I went with Richard III.

"Was ever a woman in this humor woo'd?" Love it.

I wonder how Adamblast would vote.

hmm i gotta check rich 3 too. yaknow henry 5 i picked cause of the humor basically.

I voted for a Midsummer Night's Dream but the Tempest is a close second.

My answer would have been one of the useless ones, yet you arbitrarily included The Winter's Tale. As Shakespeare himself would have said: "Dafuq?"
