Here's What Actually Happens In Shakespeare's Most Famous Plays

"I wasted time, and now time doth waste me" need not apply to your procrastination habits. If you're in need of a quick Shakespeare refresher (say, before watching a modern-day adaptation), consulting a timeline of how events unfolded could come in hand. Does Titania fall in love with Bottom before or after the fairy king bewitches her with a potion? How exactly, do the final moments of Romeo and Juliet's love affair transpire? Obviously the Bard is worthy of a close read, but the below timelines from The Shakespeare Book are a fun refresher.

To relive your high school English class days, reacquaint yourself with the events of Shakespeare's famous plays:

Hamlet
King Lear
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Romeo and Juliet
