IMPORTANT WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.
William Shakespeare is the greatest of all times. He invented hundreds of words and phrases used by English speakers to this day. His influence on literature is so great that it can be argued that each of his works deserves a spot on this list, but these seven plays and poetry collections are arguably his most important. One of his achievements.
Romeo and Juliet (c. 1594–96):
Romeo and Juliet is not usually considered William Shakespeare’s best play, but it is one of William Shakespeare’s most popular works. This story of his two unhappy lovers, both with tragic endings, has been adapted many times for stage and film. The ubiquity of the story of young people in love trying to stay together in an indifferent world has resonated with audiences and readers around the world for centuries.
Much Ado about Nothing (c. 1598–99):
William Shakespeare’s most famous play is his tragedy, but he also wrote many comedies, including this story of a woman who is falsely accused of being unfaithful. The plot, which focuses on Claudio and the hero couple, includes humorous misunderstandings and awkward supporting characters. The commotion about nothing is subbed as the hero’s cousin Beatrice and her potential romantic interest Benedict exchange witty insults and express skepticism about love throughout the play. The plot is also notable:
their “merry war” ends with the two equally professing their love for each other.
Julius Caesar (c. 1599–1600):
Although the majority of William Shakespeare’s historical plays dealt with events that took place in his native England, he occasionally explored historical periods in other parts of the world. The most prominent example of this is Julius Caesar. In William Shakespeare’s play, Rome’s leader, Caesar, conspires and is ultimately assassinated by former Republican allies, including his trusted friend Brutus. The play is famous for Mark Antony’s speech, which begins with “Friends, Romans and brethren, give me ear.” The speech is his one
of William Shakespeare’s most famous monologues.
Hamlet (c. 1599–1601):
Hamlet is arguably the greatest drama of all time. In it, Hamlet, a Danish prince, struggles with the recent death of his father and his mother’s marriage to Claudius, his father’s brother and successor. Claudius is later said to have murdered Hamlet’s father. Hamlet seeks revenge after being visited by the ghost of his father. One of his most notable aspects of the play is Hamlet’s soliloquy, which beautifully portrays the characters’ inner conflicts
King Lear (1605–06):
The play begins with King Lear deciding to divide his kingdom among his three daughters in proportion to their love for him. He inherits a daughter, Cordelia, who refuses to flatter him. His other two daughters, the devious goneril and regan, take over his kingdom. They then turn on Leah and drive him away. Leah goes insane but eventually reconciles with Cordelia, who is later hanged before Leah herself dies.
Macbeth (c. 1606–07):
Macbeth is the third of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, along with Hamlet and King Lear. It tells the story of a Scottish nobleman who follows the prophecy of three witches and becomes the ruler of the country after he kills the current king, Duncan. Guilt drives his wife Lady Macbeth insane. Ultimately, Macbeth was killed because of his political ambitions. Its tragic depiction of Macbeth’s downward spiral and iconic portrayal of Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness makes it one of William Shakespeare’s major works.
