Classic Genres are:

Comedy: Twelfth Night, Midsummer, As You Like It (Classically comedy offers marriage and the hope of a new world order)
Tragedy: Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, Romeo & Juliet (Classically tragedy offers the down fall (and normally death) of the titular character by their own actions and choices (Caesar is the exception to the rule)
History: Henry V, Richard II (Classically dealing with the true monarchs of England)

A fourth contemporary category (used mostly by scholars and not the general public) is romance: Winter's Tale, Tempest - usually marked as a TragioComedy where there is much downfall of characters with an upbeat ending.

A fifth category is much debated: The Problem Play (called thus both because it is very problem driven plot and because it doesn't fit neatly into the three classical or the fourth contemporary categories) Merchant of Venice, Troilus and Cressida. (They tend to have much darker plots that are scattered with comedy, I term it a Comyotragedy where the focus is more on the downfall of the characters but they don't usually die).

The plays of William Shakespeare were traditionally split into three different categories; comedies, tragedies and histories. Some plays are now considered, by some, to be romances and plays which are difficult to classify can be called the problem plays, which mainly consist of All's Well That Ends Well, Measure For Measure and Troilus and Cressida.

Of all of Shakespeare's plays, of which 37 are believed to still survive, a small majority were comedies, with tragedies and histories second and third respectively.

William Shakespeare is one of, if not the most, famous playwright in the UK, if not across the world. Many of the stories he created have acted as framework for most modern day stories, plays and films.

Besides the amazing language that Shakespeare used, the range of content and genres that he spanned in his writing are marks of greatness. They are normally split into three genres; tragedies, histories and comedies.

Shakespeare wrote many tragedies such as Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet (also thought to be one of the greatest love stories ever told), Titus Andronicus and Othello.

He wrote history plays such as Henry IV, V and VI and their numerous parts.

Some of his most loved works are his comedies including Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, All's Well That Ennds Well and Two gentlemen of Verona.

His complete works are widely available. I picked up my first copy for £2! And there are plenty of films if you would prefer.

He wrote all types of plays. A lot of them involved scandal, deceit, theft, murder, incest, and more. Take a journey and do some reading of Shakespeare. You will never regret it.
