The tally of all named deaths is complete. We counted approximately 150 characters who either die on stage, or whose death is reported during the course of the play.
In a related note, some British professor has used plagiarism-detecting software to determine that "Edward III" was, in fact, about 40% written by Shakespeare, with the other 60% most likely Thomas Kyd (article). I still say it stinks.

Maybe the characters in that one could only end up 40% dead?
ReplyDeleteOf Edward III stinks. Only 40% is Shakespeare. YOUR play, on the other hand ...
