His work has been adapted many times and studied worldwide by literature fanatics. We bring you some of the best works of William Shakespeare:
Genre: Romance
“Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night;
Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night…”
Genre: Tragedy
“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!”
Genre: Tragedy
“Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.”
Genre: Tragedy
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
“Et tu, Brute?”
Genre: Fantasy, Comedy
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
Genre: Tragedy
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-ey’d monster, which doth mock
The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss,
Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger:
But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o’er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!”
Genre: Comedy, Drama
“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told:
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold:
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.”
Genre: Comedy
“A dear happiness to women: they would else have been troubled with a pernicious suitor. I thank God and my cold blood, I am of your humour for that: I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me.”
Genre: Romance, Comedy
“O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in’t!”
Genre: Comedy
“A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with light weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.”
