Which Shakespearean Heroine Are You?

Headstrong and wise beyond your years, you are Juliet Capulet. When others are impulsive and emotional, you make your intentions clear and keep a level head in all situations. Should you meet your Romeo, you'll find you finish each other's sentences...or sonnets!

Shakespeare's fieriest heroine. You are witty, fiesty, playful...perhaps at times a little self involved. Like Cleopatra you enjoy flirtation and love games, you keep your partner on their toes. You can be rather dramatic, weeping one second and dancing the next, but it is your passionate personality that enthral those around you.

Shakespeare's most beloved heroine. Viola, of Twelfth Night, is a practical lady, who dresses herself as a boy when she is shipwrecked on the island of Illyria. Like her, you are charming, quick-witted, tomboyish and laid back. You charm all those you meet with your light hearted humour, sweetness and honesty. You always strive to keep those around you happy, even when it keeps you from getting what you want.

Portia, from The Merchant of Venice, has always been a desirable character for actresses. Like her you are strong, intelligent and independent. Though you are respectful of those around you, you know how to escape awkward situations in a charming way. You can hold your own, whether it's with your colleagues or complete strangers, but have compassionate, wholesome values.

Ophelia, of Shakespeare's Hamlet. You love deeply, and often take on the weight of the world. When your loved ones hurt, you feel their pain. You can be over emotional, and melodramatic, but those who truly care for you don't mind. You're selfless, and often focus your efforts and emotions on those around you.

Shakespeare's most fearsome heroine...or villain? Like Lady Macbeth you are ambitious, intelligent and daring. You are not one to let others stand in your way and can be headstrong, and a little terrifying, when you know what you want. Lady Macbeth remains one of Shakespeare's most memorable characters.
