Best Answer

Probably the most famous are Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet; those are the two everybody seems to have heard of. Hamlet is also considered to be one of Shakespeare's greatest plays along with King Lear, Macbeth and Othello. Romeo and Juliet does not usually make this list. There is a prejudice in favour of Shakespeare's tragedies; for some reason a lot of people seem to think that sad plays are "greater" than happy ones.
