Characters were dying left and right. Queen Gertrude drank poison and her heart gave out shortly afterwards. Hamlet discovered that the poison was meant for him and killed King Claudius. Meanwhile, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were killed in England because Hamlet altered the letter that they were carrying. Originally, King Claudius wrote instructions for the king of England to kill Hamlet. However, Hamlet discovered the letter and changed the names to theirs. Furthermore, Laertes and Hamlet battled each other with swords. Both men were stabbed with a sword that had poison on the end. Therefore, they both were overcome by the poison and died. Horatio was the only witness left alive to tell the story of their tragic deaths. After reading the entire story, I can say that William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is truly a tragedy. Nearly the whole family dynasty was eliminated. In that cause, Fortinbras took over the throne. I believe that King Claudius received what he deserved. However, I do not like that Hamlet died as well. I liked his character very
