I am a politics major and Shakespeare is an interest more than an academic study. I am able to answer questions of greater depth on Shakespearean tragedies than on his other plays. Among his tragedies, I am most comfortable on Hamlet and Macbeth, and in these two plays I should be able to tackle most questions. I am afraid I can only give barest minimum answers on his histories and comedies though given some time, I would be able to provide decent answers for his sonnets
Oh goodness, I have placed myself on vacation for a very long time. That's largely because I am academically trained in history and political science of Europe and Shakespeare is really just an interest. Recently writing my dissertation had taken up all my time. My scope in Shakespeare is limited to the tragedies, because that is my area of interest. I am possibly also more familiar with the historical background in which Shakespeare wrote, since history is after all my home ground.
