  2. For what it is worth, the Fool does not "disappear". Read King Lear's dying words:
    KING LEAR
    And my poor fool is hang'd! No, no, no life!
    Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,
    And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,
    Never, never, never, never, never!
    Pray you, undo this button: thank you, sir.
    Do you see this? Look on her, look, her lips,
    Look there, look there!

    [Dies]

  3. According to the last speech of the play, Lady Macbeth didn't die from a lack of sleep, but rather, "as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands / Took off her life."

    And what about Eros from 'Antony and Cleopatra'?

  4. What, no mention of Hamlet's Yorick? Alas.
