Antony and Cleopatra
By William ShakespeareAntony and Cleopatra is a play written by William Shakespeare, and is a continuation
of Mark Antony’s story from Julius Caesar, though it isn’t necessary to read the former.
However, a theme of continuation from the first play into the second play is that there is no
good or bad in the world, or rather, there is no certainly that good will always remain good. This

Julius Caesar
By William ShakespeareJulius Caesar is a tragedy by William Shakespeare and is personally one of my favorite
works from him. It’s about Roman general Julius Caesar, a very strong and brilliant, if not
arrogant, man who is ultimately assassinated by a couple Romans after they learn that he
would become the emperor of Rome. This launches Rome into an all-out Civil War. I love this
book because it shows that there is no clear right or wrong in this world. Shakespeare is careful

Twelfth Night
By William ShakespeareTwelfth Night is a play by Shakespeare and is unique because of how it comments
about gender roles in an era where it was unusual. The story is about a young woman who
disguises herself as a man to get a job after getting shipwrecked (and she ends up thinking she
loses her brother, even though he survives) and gets caught in the romance of two aristocrats
while also having to deal with romantic problems herself. A writer with this kind of story would

The Tempest
By William ShakespeareThe Tempest is Shakespeare’s last play, and one of his most magical. The play is about
a wizard, Prospero, who wrecks a ship carrying some people who’ve previously wronged him
and manipulates the survivors to exact his revenge and return to his role as the Duke of Milan.
But be warned: everything is not as it seems, and the ending of this book carries a lesson that
I’ve remembered since reading this book. I love the story of this book because unlike his other
