How many pages are in Macbeth?

Answer 1

Other sources say that the play itself has 4,042 lines and 29,551 words, and that Hamlet has approximately 40% of the total lines. I wanted to check this out, so I counted. The answer is... It depends on what you consider a "line". Some of the play is in prose and some of it is in iambic pentameter verse. For these purposes, I considered a line to be every single line, meaning that the "rogue and peasant slave" soliloquy would be 31 lines, not 1. While Hamlet only speaks once, it occupies 31 lines on a page. It is necessary to say this because the prose sections could be counted differently depending on how wide a page is in each particular edition. I used the Pelican version, which is not generally considered to be as good as the Arden or Riverside texts, but it was what I had. In that version, Hamlet speaks 1438 lines. Kenneth Branagh says that he remembers speaking over 1500, so he must have written a few extras to throw in there. Not surprising, considering his ego. He also claims to have been the same age as Hamlet when he played him, which also probably gives him the benefit of the doubt by about 10 to 15 years. As for how many times Hamlet is cued to speak, I would have to count again. But in the Pelican edition he has 1,438 lines, or approximately 36% of the lines in the play.

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the pages. Judging from the manuscript of Sir Thomas More, which is believed to be Shakespeare's handwriting, we wrote about 50 lines to the page. The plays average about 3200 lines each, and he wrote 37 of them and co-wrote 3 more. Guessing that maybe he wrote half of the three plays he wrote with Fletcher, that makes about 2465 pages in his own handwriting. The sonnets had another 2156 lines, which would have covered another 44 pages or so. And Venus and Adonis and Rape of Lucrece are another 61, not counting the dedications. Add 5 for the three pages of Sir Thomas More and his other miscellaneous poems, and that comes to 2575 pages altogether in Shakespeare's own handwriting, assuming that he left no blanks, that the estimated number of lines in the plays is accurate, that the estimated amount of the collaborations is accurate and that he did not have other collaborators, and did not collaborate on other plays we do not know about, or write other plays we do not know about, or other poetry we do not know about. So it's a guess.

Answer 3

Macbeth is a play by Shakespeare so there are many versions. The Folger Shakespeare Library edition has 304 pages. This book is edited by Dr. Barbara Mowat and Dr. PeterWerstein. It has great explanations.

Answer 4

It really depends on the book. I had a book of all of Shakepeare's works. In my book Hamlet was about 30 pages. But if you get "Hamlet" without the other works it will prob. be longer.
