2. 6/8 – I got the first and last questions wrong. I don’t think I’ve read 12th Night, but I really should have got the last one right! Great quiz, Grace 🙂

4. Great quiz, spent a lot of time reading his plays. They do a summer stock of his plays outdoors at our favorite theater.

   Nice!

   • One actually must have an appetite for such plays and then there are great poets too

5. 7 out of 8, slipped up on number 8 Polonius counsels his son Laertes before his visit to Paris, I said Merchant of Venice but it was from Hamlet. Thanks.

6. 5 out of 8 right, I actually like Shakespeares sonnets more than I do his plays….

   • I did not know Shakespeare wrote sonnets as well. Can you post atleast one here?

     • I will look one up, I used to have Mum’s book of Shakespeare for a while while I studied English but she took it and gave it to my niece because my niece has a degree of English. I would be happy for my niece if she had an atom of enthusiasm but is pretty well like a non human.

       • I will look one up and comment in another post.

7. I didn’t read a lot on Shakespeares unfortunately, 3/8.

   • I hope you enjoyed reading those quotes atleast. 3 is fine

8. I clicked on the wrong “Othello” (lol)
   6 of 8 – “I am a man more sinned against than sinning.” (that Othello thing was tricky)

   • King Lear for that quote .

     • Six is a good score. Appreciate your interest in finding out the answer.

     • I must admit there is an error there It is the template that does it I need to go to and fro number of times to correct the errors the template makes Sorry about this.

       • No worries. I had a 50/50 chance. I haven’t made a quiz for a couple of years. I should do one. I have had one ready for a long time.

         • Your passion will make you go through the hassle of making quizzes here (lol)

9. I had to read a lot of Shakespeare in literature class so I got 5 right. I remembered some of the quotes.

   • Those quotes are never to be forgotten. 5 is a good score.

10. I got 5/8 on this one. Question #6 you have Othello twice in the answer choices. I chose the second one and that ended up giving me a wrong answer. Would have been 6/8.

    • The quiz template here has glitches and that explains that error. When I make quizzes here I have to go back and forth many times to correct what the template does and this could be something that I skipped. I hope you had fun playing though.

      • Creating quizzes is very frustrating here. I took check and recheck many times.

        1

    • I took a lucky guess and chose the first Othello.

      1

      • I must explain. Doing quizzes here is a herculean task as the template does not co operate Even after checking and rechecking errors crop up but users here understand.

11. You got 4 out of 8 right!

    • Did you have Shakespeare in your study days?

      • Yes , In 1st year I have studies shakepear and that time it was very dry subject for me

        1

        • I agree with you. I found it boring too. (lol)

          • In fact at that time local horror stories were at boom, I wish I could rewind my college days

            1

12. Wonderful. Did you have to study any of these works?

13. Missed the second one. Good quiz.
