Well, quite a few, really. However, not all of them are as memorable as "To be or not to be, that is the question." "Others who the rigour of our state forced to cry out." is a phrase Shakespeare created.

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.

Why does Shakespeare uses hallucinations to create tension in Macbeth?

Shakespeare uses hallucinations in Macbeth to convey the psychological disintegration of the characters, particularly Macbeth himself. The hallucinations serve to blur the line between reality and illusion, adding a sense of unease and suspense to the play as the characters grapple with their inner demons and moral dilemmas. By showcasing the characters' fragile mental states, Shakespeare heightens the tension and drama of the unfolding events.

What were seven characters that Shakespeare wrote about?

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.


Were any other characters real in shakespeare?

Many characters in Shakespeare's plays are fictional, but some are based on real historical figures or events. For example, characters like Julius Caesar and Cleopatra are drawn from history, while others, such as King Lear, are inspired by historical legends or tales. Shakespeare often blended fact and fiction, creating complex characters that reflect both real-life traits and imaginative storytelling.


Which character did shakespeare not create?

Apart from the obvious ones like Robin Hood or Superman or Elizabeth Bennett, who Shakespeare didn't even write about, almost all of Shakespeare's characters appear in some way in the sources he took his plots from. Shakespeare modified and tweaked their characters by making changes to the plot and by giving them self-revealing lines to say. It may be going too far to say he "created" them if by that you mean he invented them from whole cloth.
