“ When the sorrows come

  They come not single spices,

    But in Battalions”

 Hamlet and horatio happy because they success in prove to his uncle Guilty. After that hamlet goes to kill his uncle claudius to but he find him praying. Claudius was frightened from the hamlet because he know the hamlet was kill him and take revenge of his father’s murder. So he was frightened from hamlet and his madness and fearing for his safety. When the second time hamlet go for kill claudius he belive that the behind the curtain but their was not claudius their was Polonius.so the polonius death was second tragedy of the play. Ophelia’s father when he draws his sword and knife through the curtain, killing polonius. And he was died by mistake. After this thing claudius get chance to hamlet send go away from for his safety.

         Hamlet was not aware about the ophelia’s death. ohelia’s death was third tragedy of the play. When he return from the vicinity of elsinore he saw the two men stand near the churchyaed.  They were two gravediggers shovel out a grave for ophelia. There were argue about her last funeral that ophelia should be burried or grave. Because ophelia’s death is suicide so according to religious doctrine suicide not accept in christian burial.

When he saw the body hamlet was shocked to see her as died. He conform that he was love to ophelia .

    “I lov’d Ophelia: forty thousand brothers              

     Could not, with all their quantity of love,

     Make up my sum”. (scene i)

   

 horatio take him away from the opelia’s body and take him inn castle. Laertes plan about to kill hamlet. Some couriters arrives on claudius order to arrange to fencing match between hamlet and laertes. In this match laertes try to kill hamlet .  The sword fighting begins. Hamlet scores the first hit but he said no for the drink. In that drink claudius mixed poison for kill the hamlet. But he don’t take drink and that drink taken by Gertrude. She drink easily and she died. So the again we saw a tragedy of gertrude’s death. Gertrude’s death is fourth tragedy of the play. After that laertes cut his sword’s blade. And then he say the claudius is responsible for his mother gertrude’s death he mix poison in the drink. When the hamlet here this thing he was full of anger and with his aim to revenge of his father and mother’s death he came near to claudius and with the forcefully he drink down the rest of the poisoned wine.

And the big tragedy happen in the play. In end of the play many people died and make tragic End. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are also dead. They were friend of Hamlet. When the people were died at that time A Prince of Norwegian his name was Fortinbras came . he was the led of an army to Denmark and attacked Poland beginning in the play. He was stunned after the watch of entire family’s death. Horatio said whole tragic story of Hamlet. Fortinbras said,

   “Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage”

  “Go, bid the soldiers shoot”

                         (scene ii)

  In this play we saw hamlet as a tragic hero, struggle with his decision, admirable and flawed character. He was capable of both things good or evil.

    “There is nothing either good or bad,

      But thinking makes it so”(Act III, sc. II)

 In the play we saw a everyone death are not normal some were death was innocently so some were died for them fault or reason. Hamlet was suffering wirh the question should he murder his uncle claudious is a question that plagues him. Young hamlet suffe in the mind or retaliate. See in this play hamlet don’t act because depression and courage being difficult to reconcile.
