	Nobody offed his characters like Shakespeare. Not even Stephen King. I'm pretty sure the only reason Horatio survived "Hamlet" is because somebody had to speak the final lines. Everyone else was dead.

	well, shakespeare was a man of extremes...either everyone dies, or every one gets married and lives happily ever after...

	but the funniest "shakespeare" play I ever saw was at a Renaissance Festeval...Moliere was about to put on one of his plays for her royal majesty when a messenger came and told him that she wanted him to do Hamlet. Only one member of the troupe had ever seen Hamlet, and he relates it the best he can. Moliere is concerned that it is such a downer, so he rewrites the ending so that everyone comes back to life! When the queens court comes to view, I am sitting right next to the princess, who comments to me, "my this is dreadful!" i reply, "Well your highness, they are, after all, only Frenchmen!" she says, "quite!"

	Ok, I missed a few, but Romeo, Juliet, and Caesar didn't have 100%?

	I think their play would have been much more enjoyable if Troilus and/or Cressida got killed.

	I figured - tragedy or history - probably dead. This strategy got me 13/15.

	The title of the quiz was misleading, although I have only myself to blame for not reading the instructions. I missed Romeo and Juliet b/c I was looking for those who were MURDERED. So if people are like me, Phoenix - we're too "clever" for our own good.

	I haven't seen all of these plays but decided to do the quiz anyway. Once I finished the quiz I realised I have ruined the ending of all the ones I haven't seen facepalm
