Do Romeo and Juliet belong in the highest levels of Shakespeare canon or are they more mid? I explore this question and more in this episode, as I work my way through some of Shakespeare's most beloved plays and most notorious couples to decide where they should be ranked on a tier system of my own devising.
The main method I used to determine where couples should fall was mostly vibes and how I felt at the time of recording, although at this moment I stand by my decisions.
Plays covered in this episode: Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
If you want to see the completed ranking, you can find it on my website.
Or, if you want to watch the YouTube video, go to my newly minted YouTube channel.
