I have such a passion for the Historical Shakespeare plays I can't even tell you. Richard III is probably my favourite.
I don't get on great with the comedies tbh because I tend to find them too slapstick for my liking. And overly-romantic things like R & J annoy me but I think partly that may be because it's just so overused. For example, Othello is also a romantic tragedy, and I love that. But omg the comedy in Othello! So so good. One of my favourite parts is Othello standing there doing his, "Rude am I in my speech..." moment then totally PWNING them with just how fucking good he actually is with words.
And god, the 'evil' characters. Iago is of course a classic example, and Richard III and omg I ADORE Lady McBeth. The scene where she calls on the help of... was it spirits? It gives me such shivers.
