Kinda funny personality quiz to see which character of Shakespeare you resemble:

I got Falstaff (Henry IV)

You're an incorrigible rogue; a rotund barrel of laughs who likes a barrel of fortified wine or two, who regularly leads Prince Hal, the future King Henry IV of England , into disrepute. Your appetite for drink, lying and lechery propels you through both Henry IV Part One and Henry IV Part Two.

Being always on hand for a joke means that people frequently underestimate you, however. In reality you are fond and kind-hearted, and often taken advantage of.

When Hal is due to become king, he must renounce his old ways, including his old friends. His line "I know you not, old man," said aloud and in public on his way to Westminster Abbey, is one of the most heartbreaking in all of Shakespeare.

You are Beatrice. (Much ado about nothing)

You're wise, funny and you love your family fiercely - a little too fiercely if you think they've been treated badly.

Despite being a subplot character in Much Ado About Nothing, you steal the show. You're also a riot to be around, with one of the quickest tongues in Shakespeare. The object of your affections is often the last to know your real feelings, which you hide behind a volley of mocking one-liners and a tough exterior.

Loosen up though and you show a soft side that's loving, devoted and loyal. Just woe betide anyone who gets on the wrong side of you.

I got Hamlet, which is mostly accurate:  You overthink everything. You are the World Champion of Dithering. You worry so much, Woody Allen would tell you to pull yourself together.

Sure, you've got a lot on your plate. Your dad's been killed by your uncle, who's now sleeping with your mother. Big deal. Have you never heard of Freud? Oh yeah, you're such an archetype of a certain type of depressive behavior, Freud based a lot of his observations on you, a fictional character.

You have a cruel streak too. The phrase "He doesn't suffer fools gladly" might have been invented for you, and you have a decidedly dodgy approach to dating. But it's not all bad: you are capable of mirth, with a dark sense of humor, and a love of play-acting. If anything, it's other people's actions which force you to act the way you do.

Beatrice.  F' cryin out loud I am Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing.

I got Bear. Not sure how I feel about that.

Congratulations! You are Bottom.

You can be a bit pompous, taking charge of everyone else's efforts and bossing them around a bit. But! That's not to say you've not got a heart of gold. You are naive and trusting, both excellent qualities, though they do often lead you to being the butt of other people's jokes, as shown in A Midsummer Night's Dream. That said, your lack of self-consciousness and absence of guile means you have the confidence to go anywhere, meet anyone and say anything. You are a true breath of fresh air. (If a slightly silly one.)

The description isn't really true for me but he is one of my favourite characters from my favourite Shakespeare play so I'm happy.

I got Bear. Not sure how I feel about that.

You mean of the "exit, pursued by bear" stage direction?  Because that would be very weird.

I got Falstaff as well.

I just did it again twice with the same answers I used yesterday and got two different results.

That's the one.

Àpparently I am Prospero:

Prospero.

Imagine the Wizard of Oz on a desert island; David Blaine with a long beard; David Copperfield crossed with a weather man. You always make the best of a bad situation, setting up a kingdom on an island while in exile. Your charisma means the spirits of the air flock to you, and you're able to conjure up things from nothing. You're also a whiz with words; some of Shakespeare's best lines are yours. There is a darker side to your undoubted skills as a host and leader: you can be a bit of tyrant. Your tendency to prefer your own company means you've lost sight of what's happening in the real world. In The Tempest you learn the error of your ways, however, and finally realize you must lighten up and trust other people to make decisions.

I got bottom too. Not sure how accurate that is but I'll go with it.

I didn't take the quiz, but alway's fancied myself as the bear.

The Bear: The Winter's Tale

"Exit, pursued by a bear" is Shakespeare's most famous stage direction.

The bear has no lines, of course, and is the ultimate walk-on part. But his appearance is more than just a dramatic contrivance. The bear rips Antigonus to pieces, leaving Hermione's baby daughter to be rescued by an Old Shepherd, who gives this haunting romance a decisive shove towards its heartbreaking denouement.
The baby grows up to become Perdita. Sixteen years later, the revelation of her true identity will lead to the scene where Hermione's statue comes to life, and Leontes delivers one of Shakespeare's most moving lines: "O, she's warm."

I guess we're friends... I'm Horatio!

Hooray!  Altho now I'm dreading finding out who Ophelia is.
