best Shakespearean tragedy?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Dick the Sh!t isn't a Tragedy, but a History.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

For the record the list of Tragedies is as follows:

Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida*, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth, Timon of Athens, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus.

If it is not on that list it is not a Tragedy even if it may well be rather tragic.

_{*One of the Problem Plays so its inclusion is slightly iffy.}

Actually we now know that Dick the Sh!t was spinally deformed (if not to the extent that was subsequently claimed post mortem), which was literally the best thing to come out of the whole 'skeleton discovered under a car park in Leicester' thing other than the 'car park' detail.

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...
