| Optio | Post; What was your Favorite Shakespearian Tragedy?We all know that Hamlet is the most well known, but what in your oppinion is THE best? In my oppinion, I must stick with Hamlet. "To be or not to be, That is the question. Whether tis' nobler in the mind to bear the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them." Probably the greatest question of society ever, is it more noble to put up with everything wrong that happens to you or fight against it and cast it off? If this one goes well maybe I'll start one on his Histories or Comedies.

| Optio | For the Tragedy's I have to stick with Hamlet myself although I am betraying my heritage by not going with MacBeth. But my favorite play of Shakespeare's is Richard V. |

| Milforum's Bouncer | Hamlet is quite good but I cut my teeth on Macbeth and am still partial to it. The one thing I truly enjoy about both of these plays is the element of madness. Both have central characters that go insane from personal loss. It provides a stunning insight into the inner workings of Shakespeare's own mind which I relish. "Out out damn spot!"
