	Alas, poor Yorick did not get a soliloquoy...

	Messina not allowed for Much Ado: you have to write "Sicily" instead.And "Oh what a rogue and peasant slave am I" no good because it's "O". Hm

	I also wrote "Oh" instead of "O", please accept that in the future. And I forgot that my favorite speech from Hamlet, the one with "but to me what is this quintessence of dust", is a monologue directed at Rosencrantz & Guildenstern. I knew that it was to them, but I kept entering it into the soliloquies anyways haha

	Also surprised about "Alas, poor Yorick." Also, Macbeth was a Scottish King in the 11th century.

	I tried Palermo, Catania, Syracuse, and every other Sicilian city I could think of. Didn't even think of entering "Sicily". sigh

	I can't believe I missed Padua. "I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua!"

	Two Gentlemen of Verona is in Milan, and both it and Romeo and Juliet are in Mantua briefly.

	Bit ironic. I was debating whether or not to put Iago for one of the deaths in 'Othello', but decided that since his death is only assumed to take place, and after the play's conclusion at that, he really doesn't count. But in not putting his name I missed out on one of the characters with the most lines!

	Very enjoyable quiz. I blanked on several of the "Much Ado" characters, but otherwise did okay. My one objection is that the soliloquy directions are vague and getting credit requires too many words to be typed. For example, I gave up at the word "flesh" because I figured I was on the wrong track.

	At Go_Habs_Go: Yes, but "Macbeth" is a Tragedy not a History, and the play does not follow any historical events.

	I don't understand why Richard III doesn't work for Duke of Gloucester?

	Great quiz, I second that of @ronnymexico.

	@RS89: Macbeth was written to appeal to the new English King, James I, who was also James VI of Scotland, the episode is one from Scottish history, albeit a 'sexed up' story and with the inclusion of witches, James I/VI wrote a book an witches so the whole play was written to appeal to him and his nature and nationality.

	Absolutely, accept "Oh" for the soliloquy. Fun quiz!

	Fun quiz. Minor nitpick though: Roderigo doesn't die (V.2.323 "Even but now he spake after long seeming dead") and Brabantio does (V.2.204 "This match was mortal to him")
