What Shakespeare Character Are You?

You are Luciana
“That love I begg'd for you he begg'd of me.”

You are a textbook idealist. When you fall in love, it is head over heels...and usually, it's love at first sight! No matter, since you are all heedless optimism and idealism. As a result, you can be a bit sensitive and your heart (and ego!) has been bruised more than once. Your friends value you for your good nature and positive outlook on life. You can be sneaky and crafty when you go after what you want, and it doesn't always turn out how you expect - but it does always ends up for the best!

You are Pericles

“My actions are as noble as my thoughts, That never relish'd of a base descent.” You are a proud, regal personage. You value tradition and loyalty above all else, and you are wary of those whose motivations are suspect. Once your trust and confidence is lost, it is gone forever. You enjoy the finer things in life: only the most peerless vintage of wine, the best cut of meat, the most artisanal cocktail for you. You are at heart a good and noble soul, and a strong presence, so those below you trust your confidence and grace under pressure. -

3. Macbeth, Really?

You are Macbeth

“Screw your courage to the sticking-place and we'll not fail.”

You are a strong, powerful, charismatic personality. People do what you say...or get the heck out of your way. You are practical, matter of fact, and you'll do whatever it takes to get the job done. Your single-mindedness can make you a bit of a loner. Three course meals and fancy cocktails aren't for you - you're far too practical for that frou frou nonsense. Be careful that, in your drive for excellence, you don't push everyone away. You might need friends when you least expect it.

Curiously, Ms. LunaSea clicked up Lady Macbeth.
(I should be worried, right?)

When they asked about sites I go to, I don't go to any of those.
So I put Google Maps.

You are well educated and tend to work in an academic or artistic field - that is, if you have to work at all, since you usually have wealthy or high class parents.

You are reflective, thoughtful, and affected. Some might say you are TOO thoughtful (and affected), and it takes far too long to make up your mind - but once you wade through the indecision, you are driven to implement your vision.

You tend to keep to yourself, with your nose in a book, singing songs to no one, or muttering in dark corners.

1. Master's +
2. H.S. English teacher.
3. I am a loner. Come by it honestly, as an only child "ripped untimely from the womb."
4. Thousands of books. And 2 Kindle Fires.
5. I sing in stores, on streets, wherever. "Rule, Britannia" is a fave.

10. Horatio again

there was a Hamlet one the other day and I also got Horatio.

You are Horatio
“Blest are those whose blood and judgment are so well commingled”
Your friends and family know they can count on you, even when the going gets tough. You are fiercely loyal. You notice and remember specifics about people who are important to you, and are deeply concerned with how others feel. You thrive around other people, and feel a little uncomfortable on your own. You're always at the ready with a warm hug to console, a witty quip to defuse the tension, or even a slap across the face to admonish the person who wronged your friend.



edited to spell friggin' Horatio properly
