220 -James Regan Hamlet‚ Act 5 Reading Response In this act I feel everything came all at once‚ it just went really fast.

short first scene of Act IV bases on Gertrude’s selling out of her child‚ handing him over to the ruler in the wake of having guaranteed to help him. While she keeps her guarantee not to uncover that Hamlet was just putting on a show to be crazy‚ the prompt and blunt path in which she educates Claudius concerning Hamlet’s conduct and his murder of Polonius suggests that she considers herself to be united to the ruler as opposed to her child.
