best Shakespearean tragedy?

[Metis]

Aside from the amusing fact that the objective judgement of his plays is often claimed here I proudly (and subjectively!) proclaim it's sublime, hilarious  and I love it.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Othello's been always my favorite.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Gonna go with Hamlet, although I do love Macbeth

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Hmm, have read/seen very few of them, and only in French, thus I wonder how much it loses in translation, I'd guess significantly enough.

But, what I can tell, is that I've just been stuck by that 12 hours long adaptation of Henry VI done in Avignon festival a couple of years ago and aired on public TV 3x4 hours.

I guess this is a bit of a hipster choice, but King Lear is my favorite.  The Fool is just such a fascinating character, and there's something strikingly, I want to say, Expressionist about the whole plot and feel of the play that draws me in.

Hamlet is a close and obvious second.

I guess this is a bit of a hipster choice, but King Lear is my favorite. 

No, worry not; the hipster choices are generally Coriolanus or... Titus...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

King Lear, for the same reasons as traininthedistance. Coriolanus is good but one of those things that gets talked up as 'underrated' so much that it ends up being overrated. Titus Andronicus is comedy gold.
