its not that simple at all. it is really really hard to do it welll. especially if someone is dying in your arms, and hes a bloke in a dress who was suposed to be ravishing and beautiful and above all female. sensitive is hard ion this instance.

Death scenes may be hard to do, but think how necessary they are!
Would you want an indecisive bumbler like Hamlet to grow up
and rule Denmark and maybe appoint Daffy Duck his ambassador
to Disneyland? (Okay, bad example, but I hope you catch my drift ).
Of course, Romeo and Juliet were sad cases that never should have
gotten as far as the death-scene phase. If they were acted badly
enough, though, the audience might have insisted on death.
You never know. Maybe it was out of Shakespeare's hands.
The Wicked Witch of the West was definitely a death scene to be happy
about--unless Dorothy was thirsty and needed to drink that pail of water.
Okay, so WWOTW was not a Shakespeare character, but maybe if
Shakespeare had lived longer, he would have written about her, too,
after he had used up all the good plots and characters.
But I seem to be getting off-topic..........

Wait... I read a book about the WWOW and I have learned that she was simply misunderstood...
