Act 5 Scene 2
I must have the right to kill my uncle now. I have hesitated too much. I allowed myself to allow for a better opportunity, in which his death will be in the same state as my father when he died, before he could repent. My uncle has given me all the signs of proof that he indeed murdered my father. I refuse to let the next opportunity pass by to kill him, and feed in to schemes by indirectly giving him more time to plan out more plots. He has taken my throne, my father, and my whore of a mother. Justice must be served. Claudius must die. His two servants, Guildenstern and Rosencrantz, deserved to die as well. Their backstabbing friendship implied to me that they were just as spineless as Polonius. “Why, man, they did make love to this employment. They are not near my conscience. Their defeat does by their own insinuation grow. 'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes between the pass and fell incensèd points of mighty opposites.” “Does it not, think thee, stand me now upon—He that hath killed my king and whored my mother, popped in between th' election and my hopes, thrown out his angle for my proper life (And with such cozenage!)—is’t not perfect conscience to quit him with this arm?” Claudius’ wrongs have far over compensated for his good deeds, and his punishment will be death! It will be moral as well, and my mind will not be filled with guilt afterwards. It is my obligation to seek justice for my father’s murder, and Claudius will pay. Though I may have seemed like a coward, no more hesitancy will preclude me from accomplishing this revenge. Blood will be on my blood.
