Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's best tragedy. The reason why I think Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's best tragedy is because it is easy to comprehend. It is also a romatic story were both Romeo and Juliet die at the end.

Romeo is a teenage boy that has fell in love with a teenage girl named Juliet. Juliet loves Romeo too, but her parents don't know about it and they want her to marry Paris.

Then Mercutio and Benvolio leave. After they leave Romeo and Juliet exchange vows. Romeo then asks his friend Friar Lawrence to marry them in secret.

Before they get married, Tybalt murders Mercutio, so Romeo murders Tybalt. Juliet is married to Romeo secretly, but is scheduled to marry Paris in three days. Now she has to drink a potion to make it seem like she is dead and they bury her. After that Romeo and Friar Lawrence will recover her body that they can live together.

They were going to deliver the message to Romeo, but only knows Juliet died. He heads to her grave after buying some poison. He finds Paris there and decides to kill him. He then poisons himself. Juliet wakes up and finds Romeo dead so she stabs herself with a dagger.

Hamlet is Shakespeare's most complex tragedy. The reason why I think Hamlet is Shakespeare's most complex tragedy is because it has a Icelandic and Danish origin. These origins were probably used in Shakespeare's version of Hamlet.

At the beginning of the play, Hamlet is missing his father, who has, been murdered, and hating his mother's behavior because she married his uncle just a month after his father died. His father's ghost tells him that he was poisoned by Hamlet's uncle, and begs Hamlet to get revenge on his death. Hamlet is nervous which to everyone else he is crazy.

They both are stabbed by the poisoned sword. Gertrude drinks a poisoned drink. As Hamlet dies he stabs Claudius.
