Relationship after half an hour with a Shakespearean character (7)
I believe the answer is:
horatio
'a shakespearean character' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'relationship after half an hour' is the wordplay.
'relationship' becomes 'ratio' (I've seen this before).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'half an hour' becomes 'ho'.
'ratio' after 'ho' is 'HORATIO'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for horatio that I've seen before include "Speaker of Good night, sweet prince (Hamlet)" , "Shakespearean part" , "Nelson's given name" , "part of Hamlet" , "Hamlet''s friend - Nelson" .)
