<strong>
Hamlet Analysis of Act IV, Scene 5
</strong>
<br>
by
William Shakespeare
<br>
</h1>
<p>
One of the key themes of Hamlet is the connection between the health of a nation and the state of its rulers. Claudius is rotten, and in this scene, we see that Denmark is starting to rot as well; there is civil unrest, mobs storming the castle, and echoes of revolt against the current king.
</p>
<p>
Here, the difference between Laertes and Hamlet becomes most obvious. Each has a dead father to avenge; but while Laertes acts openly and with moral law on his side, Hamlet has failed to act and has forefeited any position as the “good guy” by killing Polonius.
