Shakespearean Lovers Quiz!

Do you know who loves whom in Will Shakespeare's great plays? See if you can play matchmaker to these ladies and gentlemen and place them in the right play too! Some famous characters have been excluded from the quiz because I think I would be insulting my readers' intellect if I asked them to guess which characters belong to Antony and Cleopatra. Or Romeo and Juliet.

The right answers will be up on April 13th, and even if you're not sure you get all the answers correctly, don't be shy to take part!

Here's a picture of Antony and Cleopatra anyway, just to set up the mood. These actors are none other than Alan Rickman and Helen Mirren, which makes me wish desperately for a time machine.

Gentlemen

Orlando
Ferdinand
Florizel
Lysander
Bassanio
Posthumus
Benedick
Valentine
Lysimachus
Orsino

Ladies

Beatrice
Miranda
Marina
Imogen
Hermia
Viola
Rosalind
Silvia
Portia
Perdita

Plays

The Merchant of Venice
As You Like It
Cymbeline
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Pericles, Prince of Tyre
Twelfth Night
The Winter's Tale
Much Ado About Nothing
The Tempest
