I have an assignment in my english class. My teacher wants me to list in order of the main character's death from the beginning to the end of the play. I just wanted to make sure my list is in order.
Old Hamlet
Polonius
Ophelia
Rosencratz and Guildenstern
Gertrude
Claudius
Laertes
Hamlet
Please put your input on whether this is right. Thank you

How did Ophelia die? I know that she drowned but if someone can give me a further and deeper analysis of this, that'd be great. Also, How did Guildenstern and Rosencratz die?
Thanks

Ophelia dies picking flowers from a widow that grows "aslant a brook."
She falls in the "weeping brook" and drowns.
Rozencrantz and Guildenstern, for their part, are killed by the English when they arrive at port. Their death was meant for Hamlet, but of course, he changed the note they carried in the night.
I assume they were hung.
