Almost didn't get "Abraham." I'm pretty sure its listed as "Abram" in the play. Otherwise, great quiz!

Not in the dramatis personae, because she's only referred to. She doesn't actually appear or have lines in the play as a character.

how is the apothecary not in this? i get it that it's listed that he's not, but he's a major character. exclude the kinsfolk and musicians, fine, but the apothecary has got to be in here.

He has four lines and he's unnamed.

His only purpose is so that we know Romeo has some poison. Hardly integral.

Romeo could have mentioned in passing that he had some and that part of the scene could have been cut entirely.

If this doesn't include servants, then Abram, Sampson and Gregory shouldn't be there. They are servants. As is Balthasar.

Does not include unnamed characters that are referred to simply as 'servant' in the dramatis personae. You don't need to be pedantic.

Okay, fair enough, but then Peter should be in there. In his banter with the musicians, he has just as many lines as Balthasar, Abram, etc. (sorry it took me three years to take this quiz again, lol)
