This is impossible to answer. Different people will have different ideas about what plays are famous and what are not, usually on the basis of what plays they studied in school, and they only know the characters in the plays they know.

One of the most famous characters in Shakespeare is Falstaff. He was so popular that Shakespeare was obliged to write a sequel play about him. But since the Henry IV plays and Merry Wives of Windsor are not on most school curricula, many people whose knowledge of Shakespeare is limited to what they studied in school have not heard of him.

Probably another of Shakespeare's most famous characters is Hamlet, the title character in the play of the same name. Not only have a lot of people studied him in school, but he is every actor's dream role which might explain why this is the most performed and studied play of all of Shakespeare's work.

But who could be a third famous character? The plays are full of wonderful characters, but what makes them famous?
