They have in common a keen eye for characterization, and for pointing out personal and cultural follies with wicked-edged humor.

They are in the same niche gap, but totally different.

Hi Adam. Thanks for the welcome.

These days, Shakespeare and Austen seem to be in the category of "acquired tastes." I acquired my love of Shakespeare as a girl, but didn't start reading Austen at all until a couple of years ago. They have in common a keen eye for characterization, and for pointing out personal and cultural follies with wicked-edged humor.

Are either being discussed on this forum? And if not, what's your favorite Shakespeare comedy? History? Tragedy? Sonnet?

If pushed: Twelfth Night; Henry IV; Hamlet or Macbeth; I'll pass on a sonnet but I'd probably say The Tempest for the late plays!

Hi Hi, I'm the forum's 'goofy guy who scribbles inconceivable nonsense on walls but is otherwise harmless' lol
I know that's oddly specific, but, it's kinda true.

My stories are a bit on the odder side (Compared to the rest of those here) and are comedy / character driven, probably far more than they should be given the actual plot they have. But I like to 'let it ride' when my characters be themselves. (Somehow they wind up in character anyway)

Welcome in.
