What is your favorite shakespeare character?

Question

for me
Tragic--Ophelia from Hamlet
comic--Dogberry from Much Ado about Nothing
Falstaff from Henry IV
and Puck from Midsummer's Night Dream

Answer 1

I'll ride with Falstaff, the fat cowardly rogue. His major setting is in Henry IV pt 1, though he rates a mention in pt 2. There actually existed a Sir John Fastalfe in the early 15th century, though I doubt he drank such a horrid quantity of sack.

For tragedy I'm divided between Othello and Lear. I reckon Lear, as he did a terribly wrong thing without provocation and found out he had done it long before his death.

Answer 2

it would sound unusual, yet i've got continually cherished Iago from Othello. he's purely so evil and twisted and relatively elementary to hate while not having a hidden sturdy side or a reason to be so hateful. each and every so often it particularly is great to have a villain you are able to truly purely detest without thinking approximately why he grew to grow to be that way or despite the fact that else.

Answer 3

Desdemona, from Othello--she's got the best lines and is the most savvy character in the play, knowing what Iago is designing but unable to sway her husband.

Answer 4

Although I have only read two of his plays, (Macbeth and Hamlet) So far, Lady Macbeth. She has a developed personality, and is a crucial character in the play.

Answer 5

I like all Shakespeare's characters, but my favorite one is Portia from "The Mercant Of Venice".

Answer 6

Katharine from Taming of the Shrew


`She (like myself) was just a controlling b*tch waiting for a REAL MAN to come dominate her and make her feel cared and loved.

Answer 7

romeo and juilet
