Hamlet Act 3

In any tragedy play of Shakespeare’s in act three is always the first scene where someone will first die. In his play Hamlet he does not disappoint. In act three Polonius was the first to die. He was killed by Hamlet because Hamlet had thought that the person snooping behind the curtain was Claudius, the new king, but to his surprise it was not. Hamlet had only seconds before saw Claudius, and was contemplating killing him right there. The reason that Hamlet had not killed Claudius right then is because he was repenting for all of his previous sins that he committed and hamlet did not want to send him to heaven of to a good place. Though it was ironic how right after Hamlet left Claudius had redacted all of the things he had confessed. With this death Hamlet and his mother had grown closer because his mother knows what he is going to do and she has come to terms with it in a sense. Although this death has started what seems to be a very bad time for all of the people that are living in the castle, and if all those people who keep talking about hamlet to me are truthful everyone will die except Horatio.
