Best Answer

Shakespeare's first tragedy was the revenge tragedy Titus Andronicus which he wrote early in the 1590s. It follows the style set by Kyd's Spanish Tragedy and is a real Horror show, not for the faint of heart. If you are up to it, Julie Taymor made a movie of it, called Titus, in 1999 so you can see what it is all about.

These six plays are considered to be his major tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, Julius Caesar, and Romeo and Juliet. The others (Titus Andronicus, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus and Timon of Athens) are considered minor, although both Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus have many merits.
