The drama concludes (happily) in conformity with the Aristotelian unities. Finally Laertes kills the Ghost, Ophelia comes alive again, and Hamlet, making a tardy appearance, leads her to the altar.

"The Senior Wrangler" (1870) was a play with more of a plot, and was cast for three chief characters, Sir Marmaduke Mouldcastle (Sir Stafford Northcote), Lizzie Mouldcastle (Miss Northcote), Tom Mouldcastle (Mr John Northcote).
