hi! i followed u for tcomc content but you got me curious about Shakespeare plays, what would you suggest me to start with? also english is not my first language but i'm really good at it by this point, do you think i'll have problems understanding the manuscript in english or should i look it up in my mother tongue?

Hi! I personally would recommend starting off with Shakespeare’s more famous plays (such as Macbeth, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet) and seeing if you like them, and if you do you should go on to reading the more obscure ones. I personally have a hard time figuring out what on earth Shakespeare is saying sometimes, and English is my first language, so I’d recommend reading it in whatever language you’re most comfortable reading things in. However, if you’re up for the challenge, you can go ahead and try reading it in the original Shakespearean English. If you have trouble with that (tbh I have trouble with that too sometimes), you can look up with certain lines mean on sparknotes (I’ll add a link to that later).
