Detailed explanation-1: -First I listed out all the deaths in the play, noting that 9 of the 11 central characters die (in order, King Hamlet, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, Gertrude, Claudius, and Prince Hamlet all die, while Horatio and Young Fortinbras do not).
Detailed explanation-2: -Claudius is stabbed by Hamlet and forced to drink poisoned wine that killed Gertrude. Laertes is wounded and killed by Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are killed by Hamlet. Gertrude drinks the wine that was poisoned by Claudius but intended for Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ending of Shakespeare’s Hamlet contains the deaths of six people, but more importantly contains important literary devices such as puns and foil characters. Furthermore, the truth of Hamlet’s turmoil throughout the play is revealed, as well as the many murderous actions of Claudius.
