I’m asking a bunch of Shakespeare people this because I’m curious to see if the fandom comes to any kind of consensus—what, in your opinion, are the most overrated and underrated Shakespeare plays?

incorrectshakespeare:

this has nothing to do with how much i like these plays (because i love many of the ones that i think are overrated and really dislike some that are underrated and vice versa) but here are a few for each category in my very humble opinion:

overrated: hamlet, romeo and juliet, othello, macbeth, a midsummer night’s dream
underrated: the comedy of errors, troilus and cressida, two gentlemen of verona, cymbeline, coriolanus
