The theme of these last two acts in my opinion are corruption, poison, and most of all, death. In act 5, a numerous number of deaths occur. This is the deadliest act of the book. The corruption is mostly for Claudius. He is so corrupt, he needs to find a way to kill Hamlet before the truth gets out. Hamlet accepts his own faith and now he can rest. He says, "The rest is silence" (Ham.5.2.122). He can now rest and not worry about getting revenge for his father.

Hamlet dies at the end of the story and it really ties everything together. He is killed by Laertes directly after killing Claudius. Hamlet says, "The readiness is all. Since no man of aught he leaves knows, what is't to leave betimes? Let be" (Ham.5.2.46-49). He is saying let him die. He has accepted his fate.

Hamlet ends up murdering and getting revenge on Claudius. He kills him with a blade at the end of the story. After he kills Claudius, Hamlet is killed by Laertes. Horatio says, "Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet Prince, and flights of angles sing thee to thy rest" (Horatio.5.2.72-76). This shows how heart broken Horatio is after Hamlet has died.

Throughout the play, Hamlet is know as the hero  and Claudius is the villain. Hamlet is hesitant to kill Claudius though. Hamlet says, ""The cat will mew, and the dog will have his day" (Ham.5.1.6-62). This shows how Hamlet knows his hero ways will be seen at some point.

In the book, Hamlet is killed by Laertes in Act 5. He is killed by a blade soaked in poison. In my opinion, Claudius is to blame for his death. Claudius told Laertes to kill Hamlet and even made the swords poisonous. Hamlet says, "He has my dying voice" (Ham.5.2.). This shows how Claudius got the last of him, and now Hamlet wants Fortinbras to be King.

In Acts 4 and 5, we see a large change in the way Shakespeare characterizes Hamlet. In these scenes, he is fierce and full of rage that he is willing to put onto Claudius. Most of this rage comes from the death of Ophelia, and he needs somewhere to put it. Hamlet says, "O from this time worth,/ my thoughts be bloody or nothing worth " (Ham.4.4.51-52). This shows how he needs to channel his anger on to violence.

Hamlet has had his differences with his mother, but towards the end, they begin to set their differences aside and become friends. Gertrude even sticks up for Hamlet about Laertes. Gertrude says, "He's fat and scant of breath./ Here Hamlet, take my napkin,/ rub thy brow" (Gertrude.5.2.32-34). This shows how Gertrude is all for Hamlet and that she knows Hamlet is so much better than Laertes.

Hamlet has gained so much trust and friendship with Horatio throughout the play. He even feels a need to protect him at all costs. Hamlet feels comfortable telling Horatio anything and everything. Hamlet says, "There is a special providence/ in the fall of a sparrow./ If it be now,/ 'tis not to come, if it not to come, it will be now;" (Ham.5.2.42-45). This is Hamlet telling Horatio he is going to die, and he has accepted his fate.

The relationship between Hamlet and Claudius has developed a lot throughout the play. In the beginning he has no idea of his doing with his fathers death. Once he finds out, he quickly begins teasing him as if he knows he murdered his father. Hamlet says, "A man may fish with the worm/ that hath eat of a king,/ and eat of the fish that hath fed of a worm" (Ham.4.2.63-65). This shows how Claudius fed Hamlet his anger, and now he will kill the king.

The main theme for me is spying and being cynical. Throughout the play, Hamlet is trying to spy and gain an advantage on his uncle, especially in Act 3. Hamlet says, "Now might I do it pat, now he is a-praying. And now I'll do it" (Hamlet 3.3.76-77). This shows how Hamlet is going to pounce on his uncle now that he has the evidence that he needs

Hamlet is the one who wanted everyone to watch the play. This is his opportunity to get his Uncle's reaction because it portrays Claudius killing his father. Hamlet says, "What, frighted with false fire?" (Hamlet 3.2.257). He sees his uncle's reaction and teases his as if he knows about the murder. One of the connections between the 2 plays is how Hamlet rigs it to display his fathers death. Hamlet says, "Upon the talk of the poisoning?" (Hamlet 3.2.279). He is talking to Horatio out loud about the poisoning. Another connection is the hardships between the mother and father in the play. Hamlet says, "O wonderful son, that can so astonish a mother!" (Hamlet 3.2.312).

Hamlet is no doubt a dweller. He has taken this long to do anything against his uncle who killed his father. He is too much inside of his head when it comes to making decisions. He is an over-thinker about what may happen if things were to go bad. He says, "This was sometime a paradox, but now the time gives it proof" (Hamlet 3.1.122-123). Hamlet is like me, and thinks too much into the future and afterlife. Hamlet says, "No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks" (Hamlet 3.1.69-70).

In Act 3, Hamlet is convincing Claudius more and more that he is okay and knows nothing of his fathers murder. This gives Claudius relief because he thought he was beginning to find him out. Claudius says, "And can you by no drift of conference Get from him why he puts on this confusion," (Claudius 3.1.1-2). This is at the beginning of the act when Claudius is still worried about Hamlet's actions. He has no idea Hamlet is scheming.

Hamlet is not in good terms with Laertes. He knows he his a better swordsman and that he is more in love with Ophelia then he is. Laertes says, "As for Hamlet, and his interest in you: regard it as of no significance - as a youthful flirtation" (Laertes 1.2.6-7).

Hamlet is trying to become closer with them because he believes they are in the works with the King and Queen to spy on them. This makes them disloyal to Hamlet. Hamlet says, "It is as easy as lying. Govern these ventages with your fingers and thumb,.." (Hamlet 3.2.341-342). He is onto them when he is talking to them in private after the Queen.

In Act 3, we see a large change in the way Hamlet is characterized. He is noticeably sad and depressed about his whole situation. He has been trying to get revenge on his Uncle, but is second guessing himself. I think everything is starting to become apparent to him. You can tell he is sad when Hamlet says, "Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep; To sleep, the perchance of dream" (Hamlet 3.1.71-72). He is thinking about the after life if he were to die.

Throughout the play, the relationship between Hamlet and his mother gets weaker and weaker. She begins to worry that his fathers death is starting to catch up to him. "I have no doubt it's none other than the obvious one: his father's death and our over-hasty marriage" (Queen 2.2.59-60).

As he is the father of the women Hamlet loves, Polonius has a strong connection to Hamlet. But, there relationship gets bumpy when Hamlet thinks Polonius is a fish monger. Polonius says, "How about that! Always harping on my daughter! Yet he didn't know me at first. He said I was a fishmonger" (Polonius 2.2.198-200).

The relationship between Hamlet and Ophelia becomes weaker with Hamlet's new fake personality. She says "Oh, my lord, my lord. I've been so frightened!.., Lord Hamlet confronted me with his clothing all unbuttoned;"(Ophelia 2.1.84,86-87).

The themes are revenge and death for Act 1. Hamlet seeks revenge on Claudius for the murder of his father, who has now come back as a ghost. He is having trouble taking action during the scene and wants to figure out the best way to avenge.  Hamlet's dilemma is the difficulty he is faced with for how he will avenge his father's death.

"My father's brother- but no more like my father/ Than I to Hercules" (Hamlet 1.2.154-155). Hamlet draws an allusion between him and Hercules, an insanely strong Roman, and comparing it to his father and Claudius. This shows that they are nothing alike, most likely comparing his father to Hercules, and Claudius to a normal human being.

"Like Niobe, all tears- why she, even she -" Hamlet, act 1 scene 2, line 151. Hamlet is drawing an allusion between Niobe, a grieving woman in Greek mythology, and his mother.  He is confused on how his mother went straight to Claudius after King Hamlets death, after mourning like Niobe.

“So excellent a king, that was to this/ Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother” (Hamlet 1.2.141-142). Hyperion was one of the titans before the Olympian Gods. A satyr was a half-horse half-human. There is a huge difference between the two, which could be demonstrating how much better a king Hamlet was than Claudius.
