In the play "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare the catastrophe was found in act v. In this final act Hamlet finally killed Claudius. However, it did not happen as was expected in a revenge play. He did it in an improvised way that is the reason why, even though it was a murder, it was not seen as the ordinary revenge story.
