Best Answer

Falstaff, who appears in three plays (the two parts of Henry IV and The Merry Wives of Windsor) has more lines than any other Shakespearean character, with 471. Hamlet has the most in a single play (probably because when you conflate the two versions of the play it is way longer than any other play)

Hamlet (the character) has the most lines. The character Richard, Duke of Gloucster (later King Richard III) has the second most.

Did William Shakespeare impact society?

William Shakespeare influenced all of the drama which followed him by setting a higher standard for character development, pacing, dramatic structure and plot. Although the lines Shakespeare wrote for his characters are amazingly potent, and most actors want to be able to say them, their style did not affect later playwrights significantly.


Was Macbeth a fictional character made up by Shakespeare?

Macbeth was not a fictional character made up by Shakespeare. He was based on a historical character, although he is not in any way like the real historical Macbeth. Shakespeare took most of the story of Macbeth from the history book Holinshed's Chronicles which contains most of the events shown in the play. Shakespeare did develop the character of Macbeth found in Holinshed, but he did not invent him.

What characters in Shakespeare's plays did he model after Leonardo da Vinci?

None. Shakespeare did not "model his characters" on individuals. Since he borrowed most of his plots, the characters came with them. Shakespeare broadened the characters in the stories he found but rarely invented any. Many of his characters are stock characters or similar to them. (Maria in Twelfth Night, for example, is a soubrette) Falstaff if perhaps an exception. He appears to be entirely Shakespeare's character, and in making him Shakespeare drew no doubt on many real knights of his acquaintance. If Shakespeare had even heard of an artist who wandered from job to job around France and Italy a century earlier, his plays show no sign of such a character.
