Throughout his 37 plays, Shakespeare managed to offend probably every minority group he had heard of. Here is a list of six plays that have existed recently in Westridge curriculum, ranked out of ten on their offensiveness.
Romeo and Juliet 2/10
The only thing that makes this play offensive is that it is so much less exciting than it's gnome version.
Julius Caesar 3/10
This is offensive to people who enjoy history but have to learn about this play instead of what actually happened.
The Tempest 6/10
I would argue that this play is most offensive to those that must bear the boredom of reading it.
Macbeth 9/10
Calling Lady Macbeth a strong, powerful woman as a way to prove that Shakespeare is a feminist is pure BS. She’s, for lack of better wording, a horrible person. That isn’t feminism, that's trying to make the only leading female role less offensive.
Othello 10/10
Diversity is good, until it is written by a white Protestant man in the seventeenth century.
Hamlet
No comment due to the unexplained worship of this play. I will get slandered by everyone if I express my true thoughts on this one.
