Which male character has the most lines?

By Amanda Mabillard, About.com

Question: Which male character has the most lines?

Answer: Hamlet, with 1569 lines, is the most loquacious Shakespearean character in a single play. Richard III is second, with 1161 lines, and Iago is next, with 1117 lines. However, if we include all of the lines Henry V speaks in both Henry V and the Henry IV plays (when he is known as "Prince Hal"), then Henry V has the most lines of any character, boasting 1063 lines in Henry V alone. Interestingly, no other characters in any Shakespeare play speak more than 1000 lines.
