Team,
Reading your predictions was a lot of fun. Without giving away the ending, let me give you a few clues:
1. Don't forget that the full title is "The Tragedy of Hamlet."
2. Yet, not everyone will die. Someone must survive to tell the tale.
3. Just as Hollywood today follows certain rules (seriously flawed characters must die, you can't have a gun in a scene without it going off...) theater during Shakespeare's day did too. Think about his AUDIENCE, that is the audience for whom he was officially writing (if you don't know, perhaps Marx told you the name of his acting company? The King's Men. There's a big clue there.) Anyway, that audience determined some of what he could and could not do at the end of the play ... and explains why Fortinbras is in the story.
Good luck. We should finish by Thursday.

PS: Oh never mind, I'll just tell you. Astrid nailed it ...
