Let's see how the audience voted

Hamlet..............................64%
Macbeth..............................0%
Othello.................................9%
The Merchant of Venice...27%

Let's have a look at some of the answers

I'm going with D Merchant of Venice because dude was a loan shark 🔪💪 but honestly I can't remember if it was in that one and I've only read two of the four listed 🙂

So I was overly confident yesterday

Today I think it's Hamlet, although it's been a long time since my English Literature GCSE!

This is a tough one. I did Hamlet for the leaving and I'm fairly certain it's not that.

Merchant of Venice seems the obvious choice, but too obvious?! Maybe. But I think I'll go with it as my audience answer anyway.

Hi Kol,

I did Macbeth and Othello at school and while I wouldnt know every quote from them I am kind of satisfied that it isnt them. Of course that will make it more embarrassing if it actually is!!!!

As for the other two unfortunately I dont know much about either. Therein lies the problem! I havent  even watched the various movies about them which might have helped.

If I make it through this one I've a shot at the big money. If I'm wrong I can be happy I got a lot further than I did the first time.

The lifelines might be more useful to me if there is another round for me and with Macbeth and Othello ruled out - for better or worse - it's basically the same as yesterday after using a lifeline - a straight forward 50/50 shout.

I was initially drawn to 'The Merchant of Venice' but then I thought isnt that too obvious??? The business link to lending and all that. So after all that -

My final answer is:

A: Hamlet

Is it a bluff or even a double bluff?? Have I fallen into your trap?? I'll just have to wait for the reveal I suppose!

audience answer

the merchant of Venice

The only one of these that I've read is Macbeth, for the Leaving Cert. Now that was a long time ago, but the quote doesn't sound familiar to me, so on that slim reasoning, I'll rule that one out

Out of the other three, it's pretty much a blind stab in the dark. I'm being drawn towards Othello, so I'll put my audience vote there

Ooookayyyyyyy then. For the Ask the Audience.

I did MacBeth for the Leaving Cert years ago, and I can't say I remember that line. The fact that it is for half a million seems like it would be an important plot point, and not some line said by City Guard #3 to City Guard #4 in the background of a scene, maybe?

Merchant of Venice seems like the obvious answer, but then is that too obvious? Borrowing, lending, Merchant Services, that seems too obvious for 500k.

That leaves Hamlet and Othello. I honestly don't know what either of those are about, so when all else fails I'm just going to roll a dice. 1, 3, 5 for Hamlet, 2, 4, 6 for Othello. I got a 5 so Hamlet
