Leaving aside gender differences and so on, who do you most identify with ? I have bagged Timon of Athens, and of course Lynette would be the Countess of Rousillon - any other offers ?

(There's a spelling mistake in the title - I know, I know, dyslexic fingers ...)

Ohhh, I'd have gone for Timon, oh well.

Probably mine would be Berowne, for his sharp wit.

I see you more as Angelo, Jan, and me as Jaques.

This is rather a good topic. Job, you are so Jacques! In a good way, of course.

I think I'm probably Beatrice at her rudest. Matthew has a touch of the Holofernes (but considerably wittier). And Jan, you have a spot of the Shallows.

I see you as Holofernes. Alexandra as Beatrice of course, so obvious I didn't say it.

Too late, y'all, I already called Beatrice on the other thread. tongue.gif Although I really don't see why you've decided we can only have one of each! O_O

O my, Yes the Countess, thank you Jan, perceptive and affectionate and in control though she is rather passive for my liking. [ that might have been Judi Dench's take on it]

I'm more of a Mistress Ford: not in the first flush but still desirable and with a good sense of humour. There, that's my ad done.
