Journal 27

Even though I have heard about the end of this play, these three acts really give you the feeling that a lot of people are going to die. Killing Polonius can only bring more trouble. Not only did he kill one of the king's top people, but it was Ophelia's father. He had already kind of ruined that, but I think this will only make things worse. As for his mother, I think that they only end for her is death. She seemed to realize that marrying her brother in law was a really bad idea. And as for Hamlet, I really don't think he enjoys living anyway. It is pretty obvious from here that he will be one of the fatalities.

pretty much

killing polonius was a very revealing factor as to the plays outcome i thought. Hamlet is very radical and it is obvious its only a matter of time before he strikes again. these people kinda damn themselves by their actions, even those like hamlet who start out with reasonable intensions.
