Shakespeare's Hamlet

Hamlet is one of my favorite of Shakespeare's plays. It was just a play full of irony. King Hamlet called upon his son, Prince Hamlet, to get revenge on Claudius, his brother, for murdering him and marrying his wife. I think it is so crazy how the ending all turns out. When in the beginning it is Hamlet who is supposed to kill Claudius, the table turns and Claudius wants to kill Hamlet. They are both out to get eachother, each making mistakes. Hamlet, having killed Ophelia's father, by accident, leading to Ophelia's death, makes him a new enemy, Laertes. Claudius uses Laertes as a security for Hamlet's death. It is ironic to me, that the cup intended for Hamlet filled with poison, wound up in the hands of Gertrude, killing her. In the end, Laertes warns Hamlet of the King's plans, after both being struck by the poisoned blade. Laertes dies, leaving Hamlet and Claudius. Hamlet strikes Claudius with the blade, and forces him to drink the poison, and they both die together. It is the prime example of a tragedy. Hamlet, being a victim in so many ways. However, Hamlet got his closure, he killed the King who murdered his father, and he was alotted a burial fitted for a fallen soldier, he died in respected terms.
