Hamlet~~2

Claudius wanted to ask for forgiveness, but he's not prepared to give up his crown and his queen- the very things he has gained to commit the murder. It's possible that Hamlet wanted his mother to confirm her knowledge of Claudius's crime, or her possible participation in it. Hamlet urged his mother to repent choosing Claudius for a husband. Gertrude, liked Ophelia, allowed herself to be dominated by powerful men; she allowed them to tell her how she should think and fed. Gertrude immediately betrayed Hamlet and told Claudius about Hamlet killing Polonius. Rather than considering Gertrude's safety Claudius was in fear of his own life. Claudius planed to send Hamlet off to England not a punishment, but only to protect himself from Hamlet's wrath. Hamlet learnt that Fortinbras was sending his army to fight over a little piece of land in Poland. Hamlet was beloved in Denmark. Laertes said he would even slit. Claudius was disposed to encourage Laertes to kill Hamlet, Claudius wanted to protect himself and ensure Laertes revenge without creating the appearance of Foul play. Hamlet was fascinated by the equalizing effect of death and decomposition: great men and beggars both end as dust. Hamlet told Horatio that he has no sympathy for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who had betrayed him. Hamlet ceased to think of only himself, and was now able to think sympathetically about others. Hamlet managed to get his revenge, but at the cost of losing his own life and his mom's, too.
