Is lothario a character in Shakespeare?

No, but he probably would have liked the name.


Is Omar in Shakespeare?

There is no character called Omar in any of Shakespeare's plays. Indeed there is only one character who is apparently a Muslim in all of the plays, which would be the Prince of Morocco in Merchant of Venice. Mind you there are probably a number of actors called Omar who have played or are playing parts in Shakespeare plays. French actor Omar Sy (often billed as "Omar") for example, or Omar Sharif, or the American Omar Epps, might have played parts in a Shakespeare play at some time.

Why did Shakespeare call Hamlet Hamlet?

The story of Hamlet was around long before Shakespeare and in the form given to it by Belleforest was published about thirty years before Shakespeare wrote his play. The story had most likely previously been turned into a play. In all cases, the main character's name was Hamlet, which is why Shakespeare used this name for his play. It has nothing to do with Shakespeare's son. A play about an American President assassinated in a theatre by a guy called Booth would not be called Lincoln because the playwright had a son of that name.


Who inspired William Shakespeare?

This question could mean more than one thing. Where did he get his plot ideas from? Almost all of his plots are taken from books he read or plays he saw. What inspired his sonnets? They are written to several people. One imagines that his relationship with these people or their character was what inspired him to write what he did. What inspired the characters he created? These were surely developed from the people he met and interacted with. Shakespeare had a remarkable facility for observing and learning many things about many kinds of people and the lives they led. Why did Shakespeare write at all? It was his job; it was how he made enough money to support his wife and children in Stratford.

Who was Shakespeare's hero?

This could mean several things: 1) King Henry V is a great hero in the play of the same name. 2) There is a character called Hero in Much Ado About Nothing. 3) If you mean who did Shakespeare admire as a playwright, we know that he admired Christopher Marlowe. It would be going too far, though, to say that Marlowe was Shakespeare's hero.
