I’d say Tragedy is the opposite of Comedy, and they can both be drama. IMHO.

Take three DQs.

392

IQ: Did the woman you loved fall in love with a woman who was disguised as a man and was in love with you?

I agree that plays are not prose fiction. While actors certainly belong in the performing arts, I’m not sure if I’d include playwrights in that group with them or put them in literature.

393

Yes, I am Orlando from As You Like It.
Not to be confused with Orlando from Orlando Furioso, Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, or Orlando Bloom.

Well done, SCAdian!

394

Would any of you have remembered the character Osric from Hamlet? I thought about him, but he’s pretty obscure. (Robin Williams played him in the Kenneth Branagh movie version.)

395

Yes, I remember Osric. I was in a college production of Hamlet as a guard. The fellow who played Osric portrayed him as a flamboyant fop, and we had to concentrate on not laughing when he took the stage. He would roll his R’s for the line “Rrrrrrapiers and Pointers!”

396

He is a flamboyant fop. I think it’s in Shakespeare’s description of the character. It was a jab at Elizabethan courtiers of the day.

397

I was actually thinking of Orsino, in Twelfth Night, but…

Oswy, yes. Osric, no. :smiley:

I am P.

398

IQs:

  1. Are you a loveable eccentric scientist from The Adventures of Superman?
  2. Are you the actor who played him?
  3. Did John Hamilton play you on The Adventures of Superman?
399

Not Professor Pepperwinkle.
DQ.
Not … Perry White?
I really ought to know #2 by now, as often as you’ve asked it, but it’s late and I’m on my way to bed…

400

I had the name Osric bouncing around in my head but wasn’t sure he was from Shakespeare.

Previous IQs:

Were you a duke at Agincourt? - The Duke of Oxford, simply called “Oxford,” in Henry V
Did you hang out in Verona? - This was Orontes, I think?
Were you a Shakespearean character with the same name as a New Orleans-born assassin? - I thought there was an Oswald somewhere in the canon, too, but I may be wrong…

IQs:

Did you surrender Vicksburg?
Were you a Baltimore homicide detective?
Were you Truman’s longtime political patron?
