2. SHAKESPEARE'S WRITING By Alex Garcia, Ethan Frank, and Colin White

3. PLAYS  “Shakespeare’s plays are traditionally divided into the three categories of the First Folio: comedies, histories, and tragedies. The plays within each grouping vary widely. Among the comedies, for example, one can find sunny works filled with the banter of witty lovers; hilariously complicated farces; and darker, more sober plays such as The Tempest”(Folger).
