1) Personally, I didn't enjoy the scene from Hamlet because I don't like tragedy, I prefer comedies which make us feel happy and pleased.
2) My favourite character is Hamlet whereas my least favourite character is evil Claudius.
3) I can think of alternative endings to the play. For example, the possible situation is when everyone recovers and stays alive and Claudius is in prison for all the bad things he has done.
