"To be or not to be", anyways I'm writing a hamlet essay and I need some help?
My essay is based around the statement: "the domino effect of death" (describing how one death led to another).
First of all, what type of essay would this go under, cause I need to know what i would write and how i would write it in the 3 body paragraphs.
Also, my intro paragraph is preety much looking dry, all i can think about writing is stating all the deaths, and describing the domino effect, and a thesis statement, which is like 3-4 sentences. Any help there would be nice also.

Start with the basic thesis; Hamlet is a "revenge play." Hamlet seeks to avenge his father's murder, and in so doing, triggers one killing after another (your "domino effect"). Most of the killings occur because someone is hiding something (the truth, themselves behind a tapestry, their part in the original murder, etc) You can structure your paragraphs to show how each successive killing triggers the next.
Good Luck!
