Hamlet. I love this play. I believe his work has transcended time because this themes are universal and timeless.
The human struggle will always be with us, jealousies, hatred, deceit--none of those things are new, they have been around a long long time and Shakespeare addressed those issues in his work. He was well versed in the human struggle.
I agree, it has to be Hamlet. The play has so many layers.
My favorite (though maybe not considered his "best") is A Midsummer's Night's Dream. I studied this play in a "gifted" course in elementary school. Then I saw the play several times in college.
There's just something comforting about this play. I think it might be because I identify so much with Helena. Any way, it is the play I fell most in love with and still would rather read or see this play than almost any other play I can think of.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
