There are horror movies with better survival rates than Hamlet.

I asked my english teacher once, she said the only people who live are some minor characters you barely see..
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”

It's supposed to be a tragedy.

That's like saying, "Romeo and Juliet SUCKED! THEY BOTH DIED in the end!"

And you have to admit, it's a fresh change from the norm. Usually, the main guys survive and the secondaries are killed left and right.

 Indeed.

I personally like stories that turn out to be different than what you expect (in a tasteful way). I mean, THAT'S what entertainment is about. You shouldn't be able to guess ahead of time who'll live and die, which is why modern entertainment isn't very entertaining.

We aren't attached to the side characters, so when they die, it's like, who cares?

But if Romeo dies, you get an emotional response.

Just imagine if Toph or Sokka died in Avatar...THAT'D get your goat, wouldn't it?

 Exactly. But it'd be emotionally compelling, wouldn't it? It'd make you root for the good guys that much more, and hate the bad guys that much more.

And it'd make their victory that much sweeter.

 True.

I never said death was the only way to make things interesting.
