Like what you like, anon.

For the record, I love Shakespeare comedies, but am not in the slightest fussed by his tragedies or histories. I'm pretty sure that makes me the lowest of the low in a Shakpearean purist's books.

Don't care thought. ;)

Never found any of the "comedies" all that funny myself.

Oh, I agree, great comedian, overrated tragedies

[philippos42]

Don't get me wrong, I love The History of Julius Caesar--and I kind of like The Tragedy of Macbeth, but that's sort of trippy, too--but Shakes is a comedian first to me.

And The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is an amazing case of something that feels like it could have been a comedy with some different twists, and almost was a comedy, but had all this OMG DOOM foreshadowing laden in to justify the leads dying in the last act.

But when you have this whole industry of pretentious scholars insisting Shakespeare's tragedies are not only his masterworks, but the masterworks of the English language--yeah, I can't resist tweaking those snobs by saying, "But have you ever seen Comedy of Errors performed by a circus troupe? It's awesome." Because of course some of them hate the comedies as "immature."

(And then there was that book that declaimed that Shakespeare was the very foundation of Civilization, and the invention of the modern human mind. Ugh! Like it wasn't half localizations of Plutarch and updates of other playwrights' stories.)
