Just like the threads in all of the gaming forums, but with Shakespeare's plays. I'm thinking of a character. You get three yes or no questions per post. Guess who I am.

Correct. As in the same Iago whose quote appears in the name of my blog xD
You're up.
Awesome.
Feel free to guess away, I just need to make sure of some character details before I start answering :monster:
Art thou human?
Art thou male?
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Art thou human? Yes
Art thou male? Yes
What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? African or European?
European, of course, African swallows are nonmigratory!
Art thou a member of a Royal family?
European, of course, African swallows are nonmigratory! Ten meters per second.
Art thou a member of a Royal family? No.
Dost thou live to see the end of the play?
Dost thou have a brother?
Wherefore must I be curs'd only to minister to congregations held in deafen'd pits?
Does your name sound like it would go well with a slice of toast and cup of OJ?
Art thou married or engaged to be married?
Art thou over the age of 40?
Art thou Italian?
Dost thou live to see the end of the play? To the best of my recollection, yes.
Dost thou have a brother? I canst not remember any such siblings being mentioned in the course of the play, but that does not necessarily mean that they do not exist.
Wherefore must I be curs'd only to minister to congregations held in deafen'd pits?
I must hobble my speech; of elements, sir,
A doctor of physic did once explain
That all the earth is province elemental,
Sure and steady as the stone-wall foursome
A-holding up the Knave’s roof, tied together
By power that we spake on, our traffic
Unmarred by thy rough and idle chatter.
And the complexion of the element
In favour’s like the rug that ties the room.
O, a muse of fire the first element,
Airy breath the second; though this wind
May well be yours for all you flap your tongue,
O ill-dispersing wind of misery!
Thou hast no wings, and, liable to plunge,
You fit not fowl; yet foul your interruption,
Fished for facts, yet fish you cannot be;
So water, elemental third, you’re not,
How much salt water thrown away in waste.
Of earth, no woman left on earth will have thee,
No man of middle earth will tend thy land,
So walk the plains like to a lonely dragon;
I care not.
Does your name sound like it would go well with a slice of toast and cup of OJ? I have no idea what <insert name here> and OJ would taste like.
Art thou married or engaged to be married? I am widowed.
Art thou over the age of 40? Presumably, as I have children. I cannot remember if my age is ever mentioned in the course of the play.
Art thou Italian? In some senses of the word, yes. (SPOILER)(This answer probably gave it away).
Dost thou kill someone over the course of the play?
Art thou implied to die off-stage at the end?
Art thou a general?
Art thou Shylock?
