/All text adventures should have one, and only one, puzzle like this.\
/This is where I get my revenge on the authors of all the games I ever got stuck on.\
/Have you asked any other characters about Macbeth?\
/He\'s not popular, is he?\
/What sort of people, in particular, dislike Macbeth?\
/All right. Look in the theatre in Elsinore.\
/See the sign on the wall?\
/Theatre people are superstitious folk, you know.\
/What, in particular, shouldn\'t you say in a theatre?\
/In case you didn\'t know, there\'s a superstition that it\'s bad luck to utter the name of \"The Scottish Play\" in a theatre.\
/I\'ve heard this is because, during a performance of Macbeth at the globe, the authorities locked the gates and drafted the entire audience into military service.\
/I\'m not sure how that would have gone down with Queen Elizabeth though.\
/Say \"Macbeth\" while standing in the theatre.\
/Hmmm. A rope.\
/Examined the rope?\
/Hmmm, looks like an ancient Indian magic rope.\
/Seen anything else that was ancient Indian and magic?\
/Something from the palace perhaps?\
/Something from the Queen\'s bedchamber?\
/There\'s an ancient Indian magic flute in Gertrude\'s bedchamber.\
/Heard of the Indian rope trick?\
/Tried playing the flute while you\'re carrying the rope?\
/Tried playing the flute while the rope is on the floor in front of you?\

/Seems she\'s under the impression that her boyfriend is dead.\
/And we all know Romeo\'s not *really* dead, is he?\
/All right, so I got it the wrong way round.\
/Pedant.\
/It\'s not like she should even be in Scotland, is it?\
/Anyway, have you seen any other characters that might be able to help a bit?\
/Looked in the dungeons of the palace in Elsinore?\
/Talked to the monk?\
/Read the telegram?\
/This monk is useless. You\'re going to have to do his job for him.\

hint_for('The witch',
'Looked at the witch?\
/Talked to her?\
/Have you read the recipe book?\

/Back in Elsinore.\
/In the palace.\
/On the balcony.\
/Try catching a bat.\
/There, that wasn\'t so difficult, was it?\
/Take the bat to the witch.\
/And as for the newt...\

/Have you been upstairs in Macbeth\'s tower yet?\
/What you want is at the top of the tower.\
/Examine the can of hairspray in Juliet\'s room.\
/See in the ingredients - it contains newts\' eyes.\

hint_for('The finale',
'Of course, you know that no Shakespeare is in its final act until several people are dead.\
/There are five characters who should be dead by the time you need to read these hints...\
/...Polonius, Ophelia, Othello, Gertrude and Cladius.\
/Do you know how Shakespeare\'s Hamlet ends?\
/Well, what happens to most tragic heroes in the end?\
/They die, right? That\'s why they\'re tragic!\
/Tried killing yourself?\
/Actually, Hamlet is one of the few tragic heroes who doesn\'t commit suicide.\
/The Shakespeare\'s Hamlet ends in a fight scene.\
/A new character came into the game after Ophelia died.\
/Dropped in on Ophelia\'s funeral?\
/Go to the graveyard.\
/See Laertes? He\'s Ophelia\'s brother. And he\'s mad with you.\
/I mean, killed his dad and his sister, what do you expect?\
/Tried talking to him?\
/Sounds like he wants a fight.\
/I hope you\'ve remembered to bring the dagger.\
/Note that you don\'t stand a chance against him if Claudius isn\'t dead yet.\
/For the big end-game, fight laertes.\
/Congratulations! You\'re now dead, like a Shakespearean hero should be! I guess you win.'
