William Shakespeare
- The Tempest (1610-1611)
- The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1610–11, and
thought by many critics to be the last play that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island,
where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her
rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous
tempest, to lure his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to the island.
There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the
King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.

- Hamlet (1603)
- The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet (/ˈhæmlᵻt/), is a tragedy written by
William Shakespeare at an uncertain date between 1599 and 1602. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the
play dramatises the revenge Prince Hamlet is called to wreak upon his uncle, Claudius, by the ghost of
Hamlet's father, King Hamlet. Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne, also
marrying his deceased brother's widow. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play, and is ranked among the
most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless
retelling and adaptation by others".[1] The play likely was one of Shakespeare's most popular works
during his lifetime,[2] and still ranks among his most performed, topping the performance list of the
Royal Shakespeare Company and its predecessors in Stratford-upon-Avon since 1879.[3] It has inspired
many other writers – from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Charles Dickens to James Joyce

- Henry V (1597)
- Henry V is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1599. It tells the story of King
Henry V of England, focusing on events immediately before and after the Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the
Hundred Years' War. In the First Quarto text, it was entitled The Cronicle History of Henry the fift,[1]:p.6 which became
The Life of Henry the Fifth in the First Folio text. The play is the final part of a tetralogy, preceded by Richard II, Henry
IV, Part 1, and Henry IV, Part 2. The original audiences would thus have already been familiar with the title character,
who was depicted in the Henry IV plays as a wild, undisciplined lad known as "Prince Harry" and by Falstaff as "Hal".
In Henry V, the young prince has become a mature man and embarks on a successful conquest of France.

- King Lear (1605-1606)
- King Lear is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It depicts the gradual descent into madness of the title character,
after he disposes of his kingdom giving bequests to two of his three daughters based on their flattery of him, bringing tragic
consequences for all. Derived from the legend of Leir of Britain, a mythological pre-Roman Celtic king, the play has been
widely adapted for the stage and motion pictures, with the title role coveted by many of the world's most accomplished
actors. Originally drafted in 1605 or 1606 at the latest, with its first known performance on St. Stephen's Day in 1606, the
first attribution to Shakespeare was a 1608 publication in a quarto of uncertain provenance; it may be an early draft or
simply reflect the first performance text. The Tragedy of King Lear, a more theatrical revision, was included in the 1623 First
Folio. Modern editors usually conflate the two, though some insist that each version has its own individual integrity that
should be p
