Hamlet: Not a happy ending.

(Edit: Space-bar seems to have died.)

1. The three bears eventually *do* come back home, but don't end up eating her.

Correction on Hamlet, by the way. Most of the problems he runs into ends up being Horatio quietly, manipulating events from behind the scenes--planting the skull in Yorick's grave, pushing Ophelia from the castle wall into the sea, putting on ghost make up to look like Hamlet's father. If you read it right, Hamlet is a real mindfuck with Horatio the Moriarty pulling that poor prince's strings all along. That bastard.
