Question

If Shakespeare kills the character of Hamlet, what dramatic convention would he be using?

conflict
stage directions
suspense
unhappy ending

Answer 1

If Shakespeare kills the character of Hamlet, he would be using unhappy ending. Option D is correct.

When an author decides to kill the protagonist of his/her story, the story is considered to have an unhappy ending due to the fact that the main character passed away. Hamlet is one of the most famous tragedies written by Williams Shakespeare and it is considered among the most powerful and influential works of world literature.

Answer 2

It could very well be conflict in some cases - but it wouldn't quite fit as well as an unhappy ending!
That wouldn't exactly be the greatest way for his story to unfold and some people would argue that he deserved better, and to have a more pleasant ending. But sadly, a majority of Shakespeare's stories end in tragedy.
I hope all is well, and you pass! good luck, rockstar! (:
