** ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' has Macbeth himself kick the bucket many years earlier than the real Macbeth did historically. For Elizabethan audiences, this would be like a 21st century person watching a movie where Abraham Lincoln dies before the American Civil War even began.
** ''Theatre/{{Othello}}'' contains death both by murder and by suicide.
** ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' is about a deadly feud between two families, which of course means that nobody is safe. The very beginning of the play spoils the coming deaths of Romeo and Juliet, but they're far from the only ones who buy the farm.
