Ending of Movie Hamlet
The end of the movie presents defining moments where the truth is preceded by tragedy. Laertes strikes up a heated confrontation with Hamlet. This confrontation results into a fight between Laertes and Hamlet. Hamlet wins the fight by striking a fatal blow with his sword leaving Laertes bleeding to death. As Laertes slowly succumbs to the wound, he confides loudly that the idea that Hamlet caused Ophelia to commit suicide came from King Claudius. In abject awe, Hamlet interjects claiming that the reason Laertes father and mother Gertrude died was King Claudius. Hamlet also claims innocence concerning the allegations by Laertes that he caused Ophelia to commit suicide.
The raging fury inside of Hamlet can be seen on his face as the grimaces become more conspicuous. He also clenched his fist tightly and gnashed his teeth. This continued even as the talked to Laertes. As the clearly angered Hamlet revealed the truth regarding the actions of King Claudius and the ramifications of such actions, he picked the sword with which he delivered the fatal blow to Laertes. With the sword firmly in his hand, Hamlet leapt over the furniture in his way to where the king was seated.
Noticing the imminent attack, his loyal guards sought to intercept Hamlet before he could get to the king. However, a determined Hamlet slain several of the guards before he decapitated the head of King Claudius. As blood gashed from his neck, Hamlet rushed towards the jar containing the poison that Ophelia drank to kill herself. Before the ensuing guards got to him, Hamlet hurriedly swallowed the contents of the bottle leading to his death. In doing this, Hamlet atoned for his transgressions by avenging the deaths of Laertes father and mother Gertrude.
