What´s the best Shakespeare play to study?

Macbeth has much more to analyse content-wise, and is better to write essays about. Romeo and Juliet is a more simple and less challenging play, meaning it is harder to reach the higher marks as there is less high-quality quotations to analyse.

Macbeth has a lot of theories and conspiracies revolving around the Witches, free will and God, which means that you can write decent essays about it. Whilst interesting, Romeo and Juliet doesn't have the same level of context, theories and, therefore you can't write as detailed essays about it.

Honestly, it depends what you’re looking for. If you want something short, fast-paced, and really clear with its themes, Macbeth is usually easier. The plot is straightforward, the characters are bold, and the ideas — ambition, guilt, fate, the supernatural — are super easy to analyse. Romeo & Juliet is great too, but it has more characters, more subplots, and a bit more poetic language to get through. It’s iconic, but there’s slightly more to untangle, especially with all the family politics and the way the lovers speak. Most people say Macbeth is easier for essays, but if you prefer romance, big emotional moments, and family conflict, then R&J might click more with you. It really depends what you fancy — drama and witches, or tragic love and feuding families.
