      What is the most convincingly good imaginary work of art? (Like the poetry in 'Pale Fire' or 'Possession,' or the painting in 'Grand Budapest Hotel.') Must be actually quoted or shown in the frame work, not just described or handwaved.

          But is that a good play (or meant to be a good play) as opposed to a parody?

          Tales of the Black Freighter is a better comic book than Watchmen, in which it appears.

          I was just about to say it's astonishingly bad! Some great poetry but awful as drama.

          And Aeneas’s tale of Priam’s slaughter, which is performed beforehand by the actors at Hamlet’s request. It’s intended to be a memorable dramatic speech that Hamlet wants to hear retold for inspiration.

          Yes, it gives a scintillating glimpse of Shakespeare as an epic poet.

          And it invented the genre of scripted heckling. MST3K owes a lot to Shakespeare.
