Remarkable Varieties in the Plays of Shakespeare



William Shakespeare is an 16th century English poet, playwright and an actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called as the England's national poet and "Bard of Avon". He wrote 38 plays and 154 sonnets, he was not for an age but for all time. I enlisted the greatest special plays written by him.

Othello (Collins Classics)

‘O, beware, my lord, of jealousy!
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.’

Dramatic and powerful in its scope, Othello explores the perils of suspicion and jealousy and the ensuing breakdown of relationships and disaster that can arise from such emotions. Othello, a revered soldier, secretly marries Desdemona, the daughter of a Venetian senator, but is led to believe that she has been unfaithful to him by his ensign, Iago, leading to tragic events.


Julius Caesar 

As Julius Caesar moves closer to securing power for him and is perceived by some as a threat to Roman citizens, his senators plot to bring about his downfall. Caesar's assassination leads to civil war rather than peace and the play explore the subsequent deaths of the conspirators Brutus and Cassius. Shakespeare's contemporaries would have spotted the playwright's attempts to use the shift from republican to imperial Rome to highlight the political situation of the Elizabethans at the time. Featuring some of the most powerfully resonant and rousing speeches of any of Shakespeare's plays, Julius Caesar remains one of his most well-loved historical tragedies


‘All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.’

Featuring Rosalind, one of Shakespeare’s most likeable and strong female protagonists, As You Like It is a comedic play centred around concealed identity, love, exile and artifice. Banished from the court by her uncle, Rosalind flees to the forest with her cousin Celia and her jester, joining her already exiled father, and disguising herself as a boy. In the guise of a young man, she instructs her would-be lover Orlando in the ways of love and in doing so allows Shakespeare to explore the dynamics of the city and the country as well as the sexual politics of the time.


Twelfth Night

A comedic romance of mistaken identity, Twelfth Night begins with a shipwreck, splitting up Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian. Alone in a strange land, Viola disguises herself as a male servant, Cesario, in order to work for the Duke Orsino. Orsino is in love with Lady Olivia, but it is Cesario that Olivia falls for. A farcical tale of misplaced love, confusion, gender-swapping and aspiration, Twelfth Night remains one of Shakespeare’s best-loved and inventive comedies.

Romeo and Juliet


From the greatest writer of English literature, William Shakespeare, comes Romeo And Juliet, which is known to be the most acclaimed and brilliant story of romance, which wasn’t considered a reason of tragedy in the time it was released, making it a unique theme. This made it a transforming subject, which even today stands incomparable to any other book written on romance. A young boy Romeo and a beautiful girl Juliet, falls in love, which has been extraordinarily presented in this book.

Tragedies are the one which stays with our memory more than any other genre. Either it is book or movie the one which make us feel deeply are doubtlessly tragedies. Here is a list of most popular tragedies in English Literature.

Tragedy, a genre that combines a story of human suffering with a sense of audience fulfillment, has its roots in ancient Greek theater and is still associated with drama. Traditional tragedy portrays the protagonist's fall from high authority or renown to ruin, often predetermined by fate or driven by a tragic flaw.

Shakespeare is the one who is more popular for this genre. His plays majorly succeed with the elements of tragedy, so the very first stories that will inspire you are,


  • Othello
  • Hamlet
  • Macbeth
  • Julius Caesar
  • King Lear
  • Romeo and Juliet
  • The Tempest

Popular Tragedies of All Time


The tragedy became a popular type of drama starting with the ancient Greeks. In this era, tragic protagonists were not everyday people. Tragedies at the time had powerful and influential protagonists, with happy and fulfilling lives. During the course of Greek plays, the protagonists' lives are turned upside down and they suffer the deepest agony. This fall from a high status to the lowest is essential to the tragedy, since it makes the suffering all the more distressing.

  • The Great Gatsby
  • Wuthering Heights
  • Things Fall Apart
