Comment: Re: SHK 18.0597 Deadly Shakespeare
I have read estimates: Lord knows where or when. But somebody did take
the trouble of counting, and it was published somewhere or other. The
"die offstage" part is confusing. Do you mean to include just named
characters who appear in scenes and die offstage, or are you including
off stage characters-- such as the Thane of Cawdor in M-- who are
referred to in the play and die offstage? What about "So & So's son" --
does he count as a named character? Named nobles who are listed on the
battle death-rolls? Those would really boost the numbers.

In counting the deaths do we include Agincourt and other battles, or not?
