Which Shakespeare character has the most lines without having a play named for them?

I don't know the answer.

Interesting question. I don't have a clue though.

That's an interesting question. I'm guessing some main character from one of his play's whose name does not refer to a person(s). That would probably narrow it down to basically:

All's Well That Ends Well
As You Like It
The Comedy of Errors
Love's Labours Lost
Measure for Measure
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Much Ado About Nothing
Twelfth Night
Winter's Tale

Hower, to try and find a definite answer to that question would be really tedious. So good luck to you.

Thanks for the input. I'll get back if the person who posed the question finds the answer. I believe it's some sort of a quiz question.

But you've made me wonder if it was intended ot mean the play was named after someone and the most lines were someone else -- like Julius Caesar died fairly early on and others...

I'll be back - that's not my sig.

Now i'm thinking this question over. I didn't look at if from the point of view that the play may have been actually named in reference to a particular character, yet another character would have more lines. Maybe i will do a bit more research on it after all.
