Hamlet's Death

            Hamlet discloses his true feelings about his uncle after his father's death. Hamlet is upset with his mother for marrying only two months or so after his father's death. And on top of his mother marrying that soon, she marries his father's brother. Hamlet is not a happy person. He finds out that his uncle is trying to get him killed. When Hamlet realizes this he starts switching all the plans around, so that the people who are in charge of making sure that Hamlet gets murdered, get what they deserve. Hamlet and his Uncle Claudius don't get along too well because of all the commotion that Claudius has caused. .
             Hamlet's had grown up with two other kids. They had no relation, but the father of this other family was just a friend and had a son and a daughter. Ophelia was the young girl. Hamlet led her to believe that he had the most undying love for her and would always love her. In his rage to catch the new King Claudius in act of sin he mistakes Ophelia's father for Claudius and ends up stabbing and killing Ophelia's father. After Ophelia finds out that Hamlet was the one who killed her father she went crazy. Ophelia ends up dead. There is question on how she ends up dead but her death isn't defined. After Ophelia's death, Claudius makes a plan with Ophelia's brother to kill Hamlet. The plan was to poison Hamlet with a poisoned sword. That didn't seem to be working so well; therefor Claudius dumps the poison into a drink and tries to set up Hamlet to drink it. Hamlet's mother ends up taking the drink and dies. Hamlet finally gets cut with the poisoned sword and before he felt anything from the poison stabs and kills Ophelia's brother. I think that in Hamlet's place I would have probably done the same thing. I wouldn't be very happy, if my mother did the things that his mother did. There is a lot of what to do about a mother that betrays her family but Hamlet helped his mother realize what she was doing.
