Scene 1 – The gravediggers are talking amongst themselves, whether Ophelia killed herself, or whether she was killed, by drowning, or if she should get a Christian burial, if she killed herself. The gravediggers sing amongst themselves.
As the funeral starts, hamlet notices the people there, as he sees Claudius, Laertes and Gertrude. When Ophelia is being buried, hamlet notices it was Ophelia who died. The priest said he wont give Ophelia a proper christian burial, as it would be offence to the dead, as she took her own life, and Laertes becomes angry at the priest, and jumps into Ophelia grave, then hamlet bursts in, and gets in a fight with Laertes, claiming he is more upset, by the death of Ophelia. The fight is broken up, then Gertrude and Claudius say that hamlet is mad. Hamlet and Horatio go off, then Claudius tells Laertes to be patient, and remember the plan.
Scene 2 – Hamlet tells Horatio how he stopped Claudius’s plan to kill him, by swapping the sealed letters, and instead of it asking for hamlet to be killed, it says kill the carriers of the letter, who were Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and hamlet has no feelings of being sorry about this, as they betrayed him for the king.
The messenger Osric comes to hamlet to tell him that he has to go fence with Laertes, as the king requests it.
Hamlet apologises for killing Polonius, and claims it was his madness which allowed it to happen, but Laertes doesn’t accept it.
Hamlet and Laertes pick their swords, and Laertes picks the poisoned sharp one. Laertes and hamlet fight, however Laertes does not get a hit. The king offers hamlet the poisoned drink, but he refuses till the end of the fight. The queen then drinks the poisoned drink, after the king told her not to, then died, saying the drink was poisoned. Amongst all the commotion over this incident, hamlet and Laertes accidentally swap swords, then Laertes says ““I am justly kill’d with my own treachery” and tells hamlet that the king is to be blamed, then hamlet runs to Claudius, then forces him to finish the rest of the poisoned wine. Hamlet asks for a last forgiveness from Laertes, who then dies.
Fortinbras and his army march through the halls after their conquest of Poland. Hamlet tells Horatio he is dying, and tells him not to kill himself, and says he wants Fortinbras to be made king of Denmark, then hamlet dies from the poison.
Fortinbras goes into the room with the English ambassadors, and say Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead. Horatio says he will tell what happened, and caused the deaths of so many, as hamlets body is taken out of the room.
