Rest in Peace, or Not.

Adios amigos! Ophelia’s funeral took place this evening, and all were presented except Hamlet, at least, not initially. Having losing two of his family members so suddenly, Laertes got so emotional that he leapt into Ophelia’s grave to embrace her for the last time. Coincidentally, On his way to the castle for the first time since he left for England, Hamlet was venturing through the cemetery when he came across the funeral procession! Upon realizing who the funeral was for, Hamlet also leapt into Ophelia’s grave, declaring his love for her! He stated that “forty thousand brothers / Could not, with all their quantity of love, / make up my sum”. It is quite typical of Hamlet to do something like this, since he neglected her constantly while she was alive and sane. His lack of action dawned on him when he set eyes on Ophelia’s grave, which is why he jumped in with such passion. However, if he continues to delay avenging his father, Hamlet will have no self-realization similar to this because the grave will be his.
