Start with the most adapted ones. 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Macbeth', 'Hamlet'. There are countless film, ballet, opera, and novel adaptations. Consume a few different versions of the same story before reading the original.

You'll go into the text already knowing the plot beats, so you can focus on the language and the nuances of character that each adaptation chose to highlight or omit. It turns the play into a central hub for a whole network of artistic responses.

Start with the one that has the coolest-looking monster or ghost on the cover. 'Macbeth' has witches. 'Hamlet' has a ghost. 'The Tempest' has Caliban and Ariel. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' has Puck.

Superficial? Maybe. But visual appeal matters. An edition with compelling artwork can draw you into the world. Your order becomes a gallery walk of iconic Shakespearean imagery. Judge the book by its cover, just this once.

Read the ones that were favorites in his own time. 'Titus Andronicus' was a huge hit for its gore. 'Henry IV' with Falstaff was a crowd-pleaser. 'Richard III' was beloved.

Forget modern scholarly rankings. What did the Elizabethan groundlings love? That's a fascinating lens. It reminds you that these were commercial entertainments first. Your order becomes a trip to the box office of the 1590s, prioritizing populist appeal over later critical acclaim.

The safest bet is to start with the shortest ones to build confidence. 'Macbeth' is his shortest tragedy, and it flies by. 'The Comedy of Errors' is a quick, silly farce. 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' isn't too long either.

Getting a few quick wins under your belt makes the prospect of tackling 'Hamlet' or 'King Lear' less daunting. You prove to yourself you can follow the language and enjoy the story. Momentum is key when dealing with 400-year-old texts. Don't let anyone shame you for avoiding the five-act behemoths at the start.

Shakespeare's works are an incredible journey through time, language, and emotion! If you're stepping into this world for the first time, I can't recommend starting with 'Romeo and Juliet' enough. It's such a classic, with all the angst and passion that draws readers in. The themes of love, fate, and conflict are timeless and resonate with so many people, regardless of their background. After getting that exhilarating rush from young love doomed by societal pressures, diving into 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream' can be a delightful next step. The blend of fantasy, comedy, and the chaotic nature of love itself is so whimsical! Then, for a taste of something more profound, 'Hamlet' offers a deep look into the human psyche. The philosophical questions it raises about mortality, morality, and madness are compelling. Plus, the iconic soliloquies are practically poetry, rich with meaning. Finally, I’d say you should check out 'Macbeth' for its intense exploration of ambition and guilt. It’s such a gripping play that showcases Shakespeare’s talent for thrilling storytelling. It’s never too late to fall in love with his work!

Honestly, the 'correct' order is the one that makes you want to read the next story. If you start with a recommended story and find it dull, try a different one from a different angle. His appeal isn’t universal, and his stories aren’t a continuous narrative. It’s a toolbox of horrors. Pick up the tool that looks most interesting to you. Maybe you love the idea of ancient cities—start with 'Mountains.' Maybe you love cults—start with 'Cthulhu.' Tailor it to your interests. The connections are loose enough that you won’t spoil anything by jumping around.
