Best Answer

Actually Shakespeare did not "write about" any characters at all, except when other characters are talking about them. Shakespeare created his characters by writing words for them to say and actions for them to do.

He also created an awful lot of characters; if you pick up a copy of any Shakespeare play whatsoever, and look at the beginning where it lists the characters in that play (the Dramatis Personae), you will see the names of more than seven characters, guaranteed. Twelfth Night, a comedy, has fourteen characters, Macbeth, a tragedy, has about 28, the First Part of Henry VI, a history, has 37.

Another hint: the names of 23 of Shakespeare's characters appear in the titles of his plays.
