In fact, after more than a decade of teaching his work, I’ve come to see Shakespeare—at least when he’s writing tragedies—as primarily a horror writer. He might perhaps be the most significant influence in the entire English language to the Gothic, and consequently the modern, horror tradition.
Seen through the lens of a horror writer, Shakespeare’s progression as an artist is not just in his ability to play with structure, form, and character, but rather that he gains a deeper understanding of how to really scare people. As he grew as a writer, he learned there are better ways to emotionally wound an audience than the surface kills and thrills, and it’s this that ends up really defining him as a playwright.

Shakespere plays badly described in one sentence:
Romeo And Juliet - Your "Love had different plans" writing excuse ended with a restraining order and two dead kids
Macbeth - Girlboss uses her sopping pathetic wet dog of a husband to gain political power, ends horribly.
Hamlet - Pathetic emo boy destroys career of his creepy uncle
Titus Andronicus - It's a soap opera because after you watch it you feel the need to wash yourself thoroughly
The Tempest - One man's real person ship fic saves the government from corruption
Merchant Of Venice - The way to make your play where the main villain is a jewish person portraying every negative stereotype is by making the main christian characters the biggest pricks in existance
Twelfth Night - Shakespeare was a COWARD for not making the woman marry the sister and the man marry the brother.
Othello - A commentary on racism slightly ruined by the fact that the main villain shares a name with a cartoon disney parrot
