After my pictures of Shakespeare characters I thought I
would follow up with a little Quiz. The questions and answers are taken from
the book I have just published on Kindle titled “Shakespeare at a Glance”. A
handy guide to who is who in the plays by Shakespeare. All the answers are
posted below so don’t be too hard on yourselves.
Questions
Question 1 Who
said? "But love is blind, and lovers cannot see."
Question 2 Who
said? "If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not
laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not
revenge?"
Question 3 Who
said? "Why, then the world 's mine oyster."
Question 4 Who
said? "This is the short and the long of it."
Question 5 Who
said? "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron
bubble."
How are you doing so far? Just a few more to test yourself with.
