Question based on a version of The Frogs [link)] that was performed at my uni.

Painful choice, they're both awesome. But Shakespeare simply had such a great influence over our language and literature that it would have been so different without him.

I still <3 Oscar though, don't forget that!

Never been a big fan of Shakespeare.

I agree with AmyFitz. Literature would not be what it is today without Shakespeare. But boy is that a tough question!

Tough decision, for both are amazing. However, I'll go with Shakespeare since it's likely that he influenced Wilde in some way.

Oscar Wilde of course!!!!His writing ability was unique!!!

Oscar Wilde and William Shakespeare are two my favorite writers, but I love Oscar Wilde more, he is my favorite writer/poet and of course, I`ll choose him! :)

what r u guys kidding? shakespeare was oh so tragic, while wilde wrote about many many many other subjects. He was awesome!!!

wow, hardest question ive been asked in a while - Shakespeare's comedys have me in stitches for the record Piper_Shoney - Oscar Wilde is great in so many ways. I do love Shakespeare though and that will never change!

Wilde!

shakespere but its a close call both are brillient but shakespere has more variation!!!!

Of course OSCAR WILDE!!!!

I'e never been Shakespeare enthusiast.. And we are not sure if he REALLY wrote this stuff, his kids even couldn't read or write..
Oscar Wilde is my favourite writer.

it's a difficult question

My darling!

I love Oscar Wilde. I love Shakespeare. They can learn to love each other in Hades. Hades is not necessarily actually a bad place in Greek myths, so I'll let them both rest in peace.
