Though it's a bit of a cliche, I'd have to say that I'm torn between King Lear and Othello. I think they both boast two of Shakespeare's strongest characters (Lear himself and Iago) and the horrific endings to both plays never fail to rivet me, either as a reader or a spectator.

Originally posted by Poison Godmachinei could never understand why the comedies were considered just funny, but the tragedies were considered 'great'. perhaps, it is because more of the capacities of the human spirit come out in the tragedies, but i always enjoyed laughing.

i remember really liking henry iv part 1 and prince hal - a noble being if ever there was one - and falstaff was pretty funny too from what i recall.
