* YetAnotherStupidDeath: Played with. At one point, Hamlet can choose to escape a bad situation by jumping out the window. Of a tower. The next page has him miraculously survive, surprisingly, until he suddenly slips on something and falls to his death. The narration admits that the actual death was pretty arbitrary and unsatisfying, but also says that the original choice to leap out of the window was so stupid that the audience can't really complain.

**Also quite probably Horatio. In one of the Ophelia storylines he gives her a choose-your-own adventure book to catch her up on events at court. One of the paths in this book involves him marrying most of the girls at court and some of the guys. It's implied to be wish fulfillment on his part.

Using the conceit that it is, in fact, the original story of Hamlet, from which Shakespeare lifted a single path and later turned that path into a play, the book allows readers to choose between multiple viewpoint characters and a number of plot tangents of varying levels of realism.
