So far, I would have to say Act lll is the most eventful of
all the acts. Emotions get heated and we see Hamlet’s frustration climax when
he stabs a hiding Polonius. Although I think Hamlet has a right to feel
betrayed I can’t help but feel that he has committed a serious crime. Though
not on purpose he did in fact kill a for the most part innocent man. Polonuis
may have been sneaky and an ally of Claudius but from what I can see I don’t think
he deserved to be killed. The fact that Claudius reacted so strongly to the
imitation play indicates the the Ghost of Hamlet was in deed telling the truth
which is essential to this plotline. I am glad Hamlet did not choose to kill
Claudius when he was praying because I do think it would be disrespectful to
commit such a violent act while in the presence of holiness. I hope Hamlet can
find a way to deal with his anger that does not involve murder, because I believe
it is wrong to fight fire with fire, however the future is looking bleak.
