Gentlemen (and like-minded ladies), who would you consider to be the, well, hottest women in the Shakespearean canon? I don’t refer to the most admirable, or even necessarily the most likable (though these are obviously factors). No, I’m asking about those of the Bard’s women who, were they both real and contemporaries of ours, you’d very badly want to get in the sack.
For myself - Tamora, Queen of the Goths, from Titus Andronicus. What can I say? Mere bitchiness annoys me, but pure focused evil is kind of hot - and Tamora has that in spades. More, she’s got the whole crazy, power-hungry cougar thing going.
I’m with you there. That’s why I choose Portia from Merchant of Venice. And for that matter Portia from Julius Caesar.
Or might it just be the name? Nah, In MoV, Portia’s smart, gutsy and innovative.
In JC she’s a woman who stands out because Portia’s an equal with any man on so many levels.
Eh, you just saw Jessica Lange’s boobies in the movie (which were pretty fine).

You did see the movie TITUS with her, Anthony Hopkins & Alan Cummings, I assume. If not, the movie itself was awesome, even if it hadn’t have had Jessica Lange boobies (which were just icing on the cake.)
Ophelia from Hamlet, OTOH . . . what a poor, weak, fragile reed. I’d want her, she must be teh hotness if she’s good enough for Hamlet, but if I had the slightest idea how it was going to turn out I’d steer clear.
