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.

Question 6       Which play did Alice appear in and what was her role?
Question 7       Which play did Audrey appear in and what was her role?
Question 8       Which play did Constance appear in and what was her role?
Question 9       Which play did Elbow appear in and what was his role?
Question 10     Which play did Gremio appear in and what was his role?
Question 11     Which play did Mustard Seed appear in and what was his role?
