I did not like the ending AT ALL! I thought Hamlet was going
to outsmart the King and Laertes, by figuring out their plan and seeking
revenge on them both in an honorable way. However, everything back fired on
him. During the whole play he was worried about killing King Claudius when he
had not confessed his sins so that he would go to the place where he deserved.
But Hamlet was killed as well as the King and didn’t have a chance to confess
his sins; therefore, he was in the same situation as King Claudius. Personally I
am happy King Claudius died because he tried killing Hamlet for his own sake. I
found it kind of sad that the Queen died though. I truly didn’t think she was a
bad person because Shakespeare was writing in the time period where women were inferior
to men, so I feel like she was kind of forced into that marriage. Although I know
she was completely innocent I don’t think she was as bad as they made her out
to be.
I was happy at the fact that Laertes and Hamlet forgave each
other before their deaths because that illuminates the good people they both
are. Before Hamlet went to the fencing match against Laertes I found it quote
ironic that Shakespeare inserted into the play Hamlets doubts about
participating in the dual; however, he ignored his doubts and went anyway.
After this little scene I knew that the fate of Hamlet wasn’t good. It was
obvious to me something bad was going to happen because he stated that if it is
meant to be it will happen.
