Plot development is evident when the King finally confesses his commitment in the murder of his brother in his soliloquy. With this declaration of guilt, it confirms the claims of the dead King’s ghost in the previous act.

Claudius accentuates the danger of Hamlet’s madness to his subjects and proposes the plan to send Hamlet away. Also, as seen in previous scenes, Hamlet is portrayed as a quiet

Pathos is really touched upon in this scene in Hamlet’s hesitation to kill Claudius while he is “praying”. Hamlet expresses his will to rid of his duty and to avenge for his father, yet he does not want to kill Claudius during his prayer and send him to heaven.
