I vacillate on how much I like Hamlet.If it weren't for the first two (maybe three) options being jokes in my top 5, I'd probably have put it in the list. Probably.
I'm impressed that you can still stand to talk about Hamlet after writing a dissertation on it, though. That would've burned me out on anything to do with the damn play.
It's absolute perfection. I don't think I can name another play which doesn't lend itself to every form of criticism going in such a capable way. I just wrote about how Freud argues the ghost isn't uncanny because it's in a fictional setting and how much I disagree with him, the lemon. I'm surprised you put The Tempest first though, I'm not so keen, and very bored of all the 'it's looking at colonisation' arguments with little to counter it.
That's probably because I don't approach the plays from a literary standpoint or from the standpoint of literary criticism, although I'm familiar enough with the whole thing about Caliban standing in for poor benighted natives and the multi-sided argument about who the hell Sycorax was. I just like the play because it's a fun play to read.
It's rather like, when I talk about how interesting Eumenes of Kardia is, I don't really harp on all the stuff about how most of the Eumenes tropes like Greek vs. Maks and Lone Loyalist are untrue, even though I know perfectly well that they aren't; I just like the story of Eumenes for the story.

Really? ...weaksauce. Fire Sharks or Lava Bears are worthy of being in some run off at least but the others not so much. Throughout American high schools and colleges you could find tons more better in whatever way you want, humorous ones like the Banana Slugs or purely awesome names like the Silver Sabers.
And there's only one obvious number one:

I've been meaning to read some Frank O'Hara and I don't know who Veronica Forrest-Thompson is, but I'm fairly certain that my top 5 list wouldn't change having read them.
