1.
Shakespeare's famous story of a man's ambition and a woman's greed, and the insanity that grips them due to their foolishness. It is extremely chilling, and it features Shakespeare's most memorable female character, Lady Macbeth.
2.
Shakespeare's greatest play about one man's treachery and his nephew's burning desire for revenge. It features Shakespeare's greatest protagonist, Hamlet, in the dilemma of how to kill his uncle without harming his mother, who has married him. It also deals with greath themes of revenge and deceit.
3.
Shakespeare's tragic story of an old king's folly and misplaced trust, and the disintegration of his kingdom and his sanity as a result. Full of sadness and truly pitiable characters.
13.
Shakespeare's best comedy about the confusion resulting from the meddling of fairies in the love of humans and in everything in general. It's absolutely hilarious, features the ridiculous character of Nick Bottom, whose head is turned into that of a donkey, and also features Puck, a shrewd trickster whose whims are at the heart of the story.
15.
The timeless story of love cursed before it ever began, and of the tragedies that hatred can cause. Created an archetype of lovers and the story trope of star-crossed lovers, as based on a line from the play.
