Taking pity on the handsome young woman, Maddalena persuades her brother to kill someone else instead of him. Gilda overhears the plan and resolves to sacrifice herself for her lover. She knocks at the door behind which Sparafucile is lurking with a knife ready to slay whoever enters. The door opens - night and the thunderstorm obscure everything. The victim is concealed in a sack. The returning Rigoletto is about to throw it into the river when he hears the Duke singing his wooing canzone. Rigoletto tears open the sack to discover his dying daughter. She begs his forgiveness, and dies in the hope of heavenly bliss. Rigoletto is utterly broken. Monterone's curse has been fulfilled.

1. Jane Doe - 1/5 stars - I was really excited to find a free knitting pattern for a Halloween witch hat, but this one left me disappointed. The instructions were not clear and poorly written, making it difficult for me to follow along and understand what I was supposed to do. Additionally, the sizing was completely off. The finished hat ended up being much too small for an adult head, even though I followed the pattern exactly. Overall, I would not recommend this pattern to anyone looking to make a witch hat for Halloween.

Furthermore, the final result did not resemble a traditional witch hat as depicted in the pattern's photo. The shape was off, and it looked more like a misshapen cone than a proper hat. I would suggest finding a different pattern if you want to make a witch hat for Halloween.
