Ferdinand, King of Navarre  -  While  the play's dramatis personae lists 
the King as Ferdinand, throughout the  play he is referred to only as "King." 
He is a scholar and has sworn an oath to  uphold his scholarship at the 
expense of earthly pleasures, the most important  of which will turn out to be 
receiving women at his court.
Berowne, Longaville, Dumaine  -   Three lords who have joined the King in 
his oath of scholarship. They fall in  love with Rosaline, Maria, and 
Katherine, respectively. 
Princess of France  -  This character never has a  name other than 
"Princess." She pays a visit to the King of Navarre and, along  with some of her 
attendants, plays a game of wits with the King and his lords. 
Rosaline, Maria, Katherine  -  Three ladies attending the Princess who 
catch the fancy of the  King's lords. 
Boyet -  A lord attending on the Princess, he serves  as a messenger to the 
King's court and exchanges jokes with the lords. 
Don  Armado -  Described in the list of characters as "a fantastical  
Spaniard." He catches Costard and Jaquenetta in the forest and falls in love  
with Jaquenetta. Shakespeare uses Don Armado to mock the fallen glory of the  
Spanish Armada. 
Mote -  Don  Armado's page. 
Costard -  He is described as "a clown," and  therefore fills the role of 
the fool, a common character in many of  Shakespeare's plays. Both Don Armado 
and Berowne ask him to deliver letters to  their respective ladies, but 
Costard accidentally switches the letters. 
Jaquenetta -  A country wench caught with Costard by  Don Armado. 
Sir Nathaniel, Holofernes  -  A curate and  schoolmaster, respectively. 
They serve the role of providing learned commentary  on the letters of the 
other characters. They are also responsible for the masque  of the Nine Worthies 
near the end of the play. 
Dull -  A constable, usually appearing with Sir  Nathaniel and Holofernes. 
He provides a dull contrast to their scholarship. 
Mercadé  -  Another lord attending on the Princess. His only appearance in  
the play comes when he arrives to tell the Princess that her father has 
died.
