Shakespeare's First Folio and Second Quarto Texts? I've bought a Complete Shakespeare based on the First Folio text though the amendments are provided at the end of the play. I read Hamlet but was a little put off as a complete soliloquy (the one after meeting Fortinbras) was removed and provided later (without annotations), hampering my reading pace of the play. Of course, it's not the fault of the publishers but a major portion was removed from the actual text that initiated a change in the protagonist. Could you name some other plays which are different or edited in the Second Quarto texts so that I can start reading them being prepared to turn the page to the end whenever required to look at the edited Second Quarto texts. For eg., Julius Caesar has no amendments. Othello and King Lear has some changes. What are the others?
