Whew! I finally finished my self-indulgent, annotated Top Ten List of Shakespeare's Plays. Of course, it's completely subjective -- as those pesky Top Ten Lists always are. Still, its fun to carefully examine one's opinions and try to determine which literary works connects the most.
And, as often happens on such a list, there are some plays that are left out, perhaps unfairly. For example, Julius Caesar didn't make the cut. Neither did one of critic Harold Bloom's favorites: As You Like It.
As I mentioned in the last blog, the immortal Hamlet - bane of so many reluctant high school students -- captured the number two spot. Read onward to discover which Shakespearean work ranks as the Bard's finest achievement according to my not-so-humble opinion. Of course, to get a more detailed analysis of the Bard's life and work, you'll want to visit our Lee Jamieson's Guidesite to all things Shakespeare.
