One of the reasons I decided to read every Shakespeare play is that I had never read Hamlet. Now that I have read Hamlet, I can see why everybody finds it so fascinating. He's definitely one of the Bard's most compelling protagonists, and the the plot is incredible, but it's still a pleasure even when it's not focused on the main plot.

The Two Noble Kinsmen
Homosocial competition between best friends is initiated by incarceration as the condition of possibility for desire and terminated through conveyance of the object of rivalry as though she were a chattel. It is not identical to TGV, but it does bring the wheel full circle insofar as Emilia is not constrained to silence but her conveyance does restore male friendship.

Henry VIII
Somewhat episodic, packing disparate events into one presentation, perhaps of a piece with the romances. It lacks a central protagonist, but coalesces around episodes wherein we wait 'til the king's pleasure be known'--essentially elevating royal aesthetics to the law of the land--sovereign preference as sovereign decision. Thomas More appears very briefly but is deemphasized, limited to office.
