act 5

When Hamlet returns he is just in time for Ophelia's funeral. He doesn't know who has died though. It wasn't completely a proper burial because they thought Ophelia had committed suicide. Laertes jumped down in the grave and held his sister for one last time, and when Hamlet notices who has died, he also jumps into the grave. The two start fighting and Hamlet says all of the things he would do for Ophelia. They were pulled apart, and Claudius calmed Laertes down by reminding him of the plan. Hamlet told Horatio that he replaced the letter sent by Claudius to kill Hamlet for one that said to kill the two men carrying the letter. Later a messenger comes to tell Hamlet that the king and queen are expecting him to duel with Laertes in a fencing match. Than both Hamlet and his mother die and Hamlet explains to fortinbras to be the king of denmark.
