I really have to suggest that {{Shakespeare}}\'s plays are not only examples of that, but evocative of a sort of literary measure during that time. The audience knew, full well, how these plays were supposed to end - in a \'\'very\'\' GenreSavvy manner, almost akin to [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife regular purveyors of this wiki]], and expected these conclusions; they simply were drawn by the directors and actors who, in performing his plays, decided to play these parts in stunningly different ways. Whether or not Shakespeare intended this in his plays is a question for the ages, but I suspect he left a number of intrinsically questionable lines not only for the benefit of his performers, but also to the detriment of his critics. After all, how many playwrights do the same, these days?

On consideration, anyway, I\\\'m afraid I have to disagree fully, though I shan\\\'t add any cases at this point. These stories are, well, \\\'Tales as Old as Time\\\', to quote a rather familiar {{Disney}} song, thus illustrating -- well... pretty much the whole point of TVTropes. Shakespeare knew full well that his audiences were aware of how Greek [[{{Tragedy}} Tragedies]] ended, and IMO, he worked these into his plays to a degree that few other playwrights have managed.
