"Norway" ("Old Norway") should be acceptable for Old Fortinbras.

I'll buy that. So updated.

you should accept either "rosencrantz" or "guildenstern" for R&C. I thought they were two separate entries at first.

Is there anything wrong with accepting just "King" for "King Hamlet"?

Or even just accepting "Hamlet" for "King Hamlet?" If you knew he died before the play, it's obvious you knew it was Hamlet Sr.

Agreed that you should accept "Hamlet" (or "Hamlet Sr") for "King Hamlet", and that you should separate Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (and accept them in either order).

You know, most quizzes I'd be annoyed that it seems to be one person per slot but it's not, but I think it does kind of work for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They essentially are one entity. Still, it might not be fair if people aren't thinking that way.

Alas, poor Yorick. Bondquizace didn't know him, Horatio.

I agree that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern should be counted separately or else let quiz takers know that they have to put two names.

Also missed Yorick. :/ Tricky one. I was trying to think of someone else you find out is dead at the beginning of the play. Also agree about R&G. They are two different people, after all. Bondquizace - one of the skulls the gravedigger shows Hamlet and Horatio.

What about "King Fortenbras" or "Old Norway"? And where is Osrick?

Although Kenneth Branagh's version does kill off Osric (Robin Williams), there are no indications in the text that he dies. Some productions have Osric dying, but it's not an OFFICIAL part of the text.
