	The only two I actually knew were Iago and Horatio. I got 3 more by accident just trying to see all the bonuses

	I knew Friar, Iago, and Horatio. But I got lucky from typing Antony :)

	I enjoyed purposely putting in the obvious wrong answers so that I could read the asides. Laughed my butt off!! Thanks. Played it seriously, too. Fun quiz.

	Here's the story of a brotha by the name of Othello. He liked white women and he liked green jello. And a punk named Iago who made himself a menace cuz he didn't like Othello, the moor of Venice.

	great bonuses... also proof that I don't pay attention when I read stuff.

	SeaShellHat:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 17:47 GMT	4 points
	Surprisingly difficult!

	I had a hard enough time figuring out who didn't die in Hamlet, let alone the one with the most lines.

	jenny37:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 19:06 GMT	3 points
	I love the wity comments you put if you get it wrong, so by the end i purosely put the wrong answers and thanks for the laugh, it really cheered me up

	theatredude49:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 19:07 GMT	4 points
	i actually started putting in wrong answers on purpose just to see the bonuses-they were sooo funny i lol'd

	jefe_:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 19:12 GMT	2 points
	I knew four of them (thanks for accepting only "friar"), was going for bonus answers so I typed in the titular characters, and got three more from that!

	tulliuscicero:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 19:19 GMT	3 points
	So you had a tough day, your left arm cut off BAM! Your daughter raped, her arms and tongue cut off, BAM BAM BAM BAM! The last thing you wanna do is cook, I mean fuhgeddaboutit. Unless you cook the rapist in a pie and serve him to his mother at the dinner party! Bwah-hah-hah!

	Agh I forgot he was a friar, and couldn't remember Horatio's name. I suck. The comments are AMAZING. My favourite is Nurse. I spent most of the time just typing names to see what it'd say. Apparently Hamlet dies. Who knew??

	debbiedoesnothin:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 20:05 GMT	7 points
	It seems like the stats for getting most of the answers righ are really low on this one. I think it's because we're all intentionally giving the wrong answers. This is the most fun I've had with a quiz in a long time.

	SexualCamel:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 20:25 GMT	10 points
	Screw the quiz, the bonus answers are frikkin' awesome!

	giveupyet:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 21:14 GMT	7 points
	Haha, it's like a race to see who can talk the most without getting killed. Great idea!

	@steel03: Nice Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged reference.

	kagomeshuko:	Feb 6th, 2011 at 23:09 GMT	3 points
	I love all the bonuses! I had fun typing names even when I knew they were wrong just to see the bonus answers!

	random_cloud:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 11:13 GMT	1 point
	iago is the only main character who doesn't die at the end of a tragedy. that's some feat.

	cthulhu:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 13:13 GMT	16 points
	Wait, are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Dead?

	chikka2:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 16:08 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for making us laugh about death and verbosity

	Svestus:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 16:14 GMT	2 points
	I should have gotten more considering I am in the play "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [abridged]" right now, but in my defense, we've only had one rehearsal. I love that Othello rap though.

	jefrunner:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 19:35 GMT	2 points
	Great great bonuses! Benvolio was my favorite.

	kbelle:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 20:36 GMT	3 points
	the priest.. er preacher... er pastor... reverend... oh yeah, friar.. darn. Gave up on real answers, just played for the bonuses. Nice comments ;)

	worldconqueror:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 23:09 GMT	5 points
	Intriguing idea for a quiz. Got through the first two easily, then got to Titus Andronicus. Who could be left alive when the play begins by burying 21 potential characters and goes downhill from there. Whose highlights include rape, dismemberment and dinner. Couldn't remember anyone left alive besides Lucius. Clearly you gave me more credit for knowing the play than I deserved. Forgot Aaron was still alive. Befitting this play, the most verbose living roll went to a man condemned to death, WS having mercy on his audience by dropping the curtain prior to the execution.

	worldconqueror:	Feb 7th, 2011 at 23:12 GMT	3 points
	BTW -- I echo the sentiment of many commenters that the bonuses were terrific; Bonvolio being my favorite too. Perhaps you can follow this gem up with a "Shakespeare by body count" quiz. Well done!
