Humm Act 5. The closing to a great play. The name of the play is even "The TRAGEDY of Hamlet.." well, now we can all see why it is named so. Everyone dies. Well, practically everyone. In order of death: King Hamlet, Pilonious, Ophelia, Gertrude, Laertes, Claudius, Hamlet. Only Heratio and a few others live on. One could also say, that at the beginning of Act V, with the gravedigger, that could be considered foreshadowing; because it shows death. In all, Hamlet was an excellent play. Further, reflecting back on Hamlet, we notice that Hamlet has changed after coming back from England. He is more solemn and quite furious and upset by the most heart wrenching incident that the person he loves, Ophelia, has died.
