I have in my possession "Complete Works of William Shakespeare", which I bought from Vanguard Books F-6 Islamabad. I must say that the Works of Shakespeare are the ultimate embodiment of all collections of human sentiments and emotions. But understanding Elizabethan English and its true interpretation is not an easy task.

You must also watch these two movies which are entirely based on the subject plays of Shakespeare.

“Let me have war, say I: it exceeds peace as far as day does night; it's spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent. Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter of more bastard children than war's a destroyer of men.”
― William Shakespeare, Coriolanus

However this movie sparked another debate which is still on-going in the literary circles: Who is the true author of Shakespeare Plays?

For a twist you can watch "Forbidden Planet" which draws ideas from it.
