  1. This is the character list of Thomas Middleton’s “The Second Maiden’s Tragedy”, not Cardenio.
    Here is the actual character list of Shakespeare & Fletcher’s Cardenio:

    The Duke of Andalusia

    Roderick, the Duke’s eldest son

    Fernando, the Duke’s youngest son

    Cardenio (renamed Julio by Theobald in “Double Falsehood”), Fernando’s friend, and in love with Luscinda

    Camillo, Cardenio’s father

    Luscinda (renamed Leonora), courted by Cardenio

    Bernardo, Lucinda’s father

    Violante, a farmer’s daughter, courted by Fernando

    Violenta’s maid-servant

    Lucinda’s maid-servant

    Master of the Shepherds

    Two Shepherds

    Citizens

    Servants

    Musicians

    Mourners

    – Characters removed by Theobald in “Double Falsehood”:

    Don Quixote, a madman believing himself to me a medieval knight

    Sancho, Quixote’s companion

    A Curate, who follows Quixote in pursuit

    A Barber, who follows Quixote in pursuit alongside the Curate
