William Shakespeare wrote a total of 39 plays that can be divided into three main categories: tragedies, comedies, and histories. Here's a breakdown:
- Tragedies: There are 12 tragedies, including well-known works like "Hamlet," "Othello," "King Lear," and "Macbeth."
- Comedies: Shakespeare wrote 14 comedies, such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Twelfth Night," "As You Like It," and "The Merchant of Venice."
- Histories: These include 10 plays that tell the stories of English kings, like "Henry IV" (Parts 1 & 2), "Henry V," and "Richard III."
- Tragi-Comedies/Romances: Additionally, there are three plays ("Pericles," "Cymbeline," and "The Winter's Tale") that are sometimes classified separately as tragi-comedies or romances due to their blending of tragic and comedic elements.
