A study of Shakespeares plays reveals
the fact that the great dramatist let's the
men talk far more than the women. Fol-
lowing the lines of a well-known edition,
one finds Hamlet leads the men characters

Next to the royal Dane comes Richard III
LII Henry V, in the magnificent mon
ologue of the play named for him speaks
1,063 lines. These four characters are the
only ones that have more than thousand
lines apiece
Among the women there are but five who
exceed the limit of 500 lines. Most people
would think that Portia would be first but
her $50 lines are surpassed by Rosalind S
749. Cleopatra has go, Imogene has $50 and
Juliet has Sal lines to speak.
Other female parts having between 400
and 500 lines are: Helena in ''AllS Well {"
479, and Isabella, 426. Those above 300 are:
Desdemona, 3S9; Katherine of Aragon 374:

though very sharp of tongue, uses the I'M
ruly member only to the extent of 200 lines
inclusive of her long lecture of forty-four
lines to her untamed sisters in the last
scene. Lady Macbeth has but 261 lines and
Hermione but I'll.
