It depends on who you talk to. Generally the ten plays Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, and Timon of Athens are considered tragedies. But Cymbeline has also been lumped in with the tragedies for some reason. Troilus and Cressida has also been considered as a tragedy with more reason. And some people have classified Romeo and Juliet as a tragicomedy.

Which tragedies did William Shakespeare write between 1605 and 1620?
Considering that Shakespeare died in 1616, I can confidently say that he wrote no tragedies from April of 1616 until 1620. As for the tragedies written from 1605-1616, it is a somewhat difficult question to answer. There is little to no evidence to say, conclusively, when the majority of Shakespeare's plays were written. We know when they were published (in many cases after his death) and we have some idea as to when the plays were performed (some plays more than others), but when they were actually written is problematic and in some cases impossible to tell.Having said that, I will do my best. It's reasonable to assume that the plays would have been performed soon after they were written, so a rough idea of the tragedies that appeared from 1605 until 1616 are- Othello (possibly 1604)- King Lear- Macbeth- Antony and Cleopatra- Coriolanus- Timon of Athens- Cymbaline (not considered a tragedy by everyone)
