As a precocious child I remember appreciating the fantasy Elements in the Tempest. Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear are all commonly assigned in highschool. (Not all to every student)

As an adult, I return to the sonnets again and again.

Whatever you choose to read, start by watching a play or movie version so you follow the story.

I agree with reading the sonnets. So enjoyable to read compared to the plays.

And absolutely watch a film adaptation before reading a play.
