Act 5

Now my dear Ophelia has killed herself? I did not mean to make her mad! I had to interrupt Laertes as he was wrongfully crying out his grief for his sister to the Gods! How dare he! No one can match my love for Ophelia! No one! I will fight til my death for her! I had to leave to prepare for my revenge.

"Here, thou incestuous, murd'rous, damned Dane,/Drink off this potion." (5.2.334-335)

Victory! I have killed Claudius! I forced him to drink his own poisoned drink after I defeated Laertes! Now I can die as I am content that I sought my father's revenge. Although as I lay here dying, I feel bad for my mother who had to die, not knowing of the poisonous drink. But Claudius finally got what was owed to him!
