William Shakespeare died on April 23, 1616 O.S. (May 3, 1616 N.S.). Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra died on April 23, 1616 N.S.
Both of them are among the most renowned writers in history, and both of them are literary symbols of their respective native languages and home countries.
Let’s talk about their works. I own a Spanish copy of Don Quixote, though I confess I haven’t read it yet. I’ve read 3 of Shakespeare plays: Macbeth, King Lear and Coriolanus (so far my favorite), and have Hamlet and Othello on my reading list.
What are your favorite plays or least favorite one's? Favorite characters, heroes or villains? Same for Cervantes, for those more acquainted with his works.

I think in the case of Shakespeare, watching the plays also counts as it was supposed to be performed. I watched the first part of the Henriad from Amazon’s Hollow Crown. And of course Romeo and Juliet, though I was never quite a fan of that one
