idk if you're doing the top 5 thing but i am going to ask for your top 5 shakespeare characters anyway
Yes This is a list I would love to make- thank you so much
1- Edmund from King Lear
2-Hamlet from Hamlet
3- Cassio from Othello (I have a whole separate post about why I find him so interesting)
4-Macduff’s son from Macbeth
5- Mark Antony ONLY from Julius Caesar
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
-Ariel from The Tempest
-Horatio from Hamlet
-Benvolio and Mercutio from R+J
-Portia from The Merchant of Venice
-Viola from Twelfth Night (Now that I think about it, I might want to put her on the top 5 list and switch out Mark Antony)your number one is the only correct answer for number one we love to see it
but like bro you did all the caesar characters so dirty how dare also where tf is my boy richardAlas, I have not read about your boy Richard yet
HOWEVER YES YOU’RE RIGHT I FORGOT MANY CAESAR CHARACTERS IN THE HONORABLE MENTIONS!
-Honorable mention to Brutus and Cassius
-(but mainly to Brutus because he’s just trying his best to help Rome and it’s not his fault he’s gullible and has bad friend)(Kinda like Othello, who’s also trying his best to just live his life and it’s not his fault he’s gullible and has bad friends)
richard is yet another younger son with bastard energy who becomes duke of gloucester by shady means and has the best monologues ever in which he plans to murder his entire family to gain power
also yes brutus and cassius have some rights but mostly brutus cassius is just gay and dramatic so i’m willing to forgive him
Huh he sounds like my type of character! I look forward to reading about him!
(The REAL question is would he have gotten along with Edmund, or would they see each other as rivals and fight to the death or something?)
(Also I linked the Cassio post but apparently you gotta go back to the original ask post to see the link)
