Answer

Brief Explanations:

The theme "death conquers everyone" is about death being inevitable for all, regardless of status. In Act V of Hamlet, the deaths of Hamlet (a prince), Laertes (a noble), Gertrude (a queen), and Claudius (a king) show that even those of high - status (royalty) are not spared from death.

  • The first option about Osric staying out of the fight without dying goes against the theme as it shows someone avoiding death.
  • The second option with Horatio surviving also does not support the theme of death conquering everyone.
  • The third option about Fortinbras taking advantage of the royal family's death is more about political gain rather than emphasizing the universality of death.

Answer:

Despite the fact they are royalty, Hamlet, Laertes, Gertrude, and Claudius die.
