I guess this is not an original opinion but I don’t think the Shakespeare comedies are good.
The tragedies and even most of the histories involve universal themes: searing, relatable, crushing themes.

Maybe comedy is more of a “ya had to be there” kind of thing.

The Comedy of Errors has the joke of two people looking like each other. Twice.
