    Hamlet scene: everybody dies

    Lana Coleman

    The scene from Hamlet, Everybody dies – act 5 scene 2, uses the two rhetorical strategies

    ethos and pathos.

    In this scene everybody dies, everyone in Hamlet dies. It is the final scene of Hamlet and

    concludes the play. This scene is when Hamlet and Laertes start fencing, but the fight soon turns

    brutal and heated. Soon enough blood is drawn and tension and anger is built up to the point of a

    brutal end. And one learns that everything and everyone is poisoned. The sword, the drinks,

    everything by Claudius. In the end, everyone collapses from poison and inevitably diees.

    Everybody Dies, the final scene of Hamlet, represents pathos as a rhetorical strategy due to

    it’s a connection to family, death, and love. As this scene occurs right after Ophelias' burial and after

    hamlet finds out about her death. This scene is very emotional as there are many emotions involved,

    such as anger, sadness, revenge, guilt, and much more. After Hamlet kills one of Laertes dear friends,

    Polonius in a fit of anger due to tragic events, he asks Laertes for forgiveness. Laertes refuses but

    says, he will accept Hamlet’s offer of love. This shows Hamlet's emotional offerings in this scene.

    Towards the end of the scene, Laertes has been poisoned and Hamlet’s mother, the queen also falls to

    her death due to the poison. Murmuring that it was the cup she drank out of. Hamlet knows it was his

    father Claudius and in rage runs a sword through him and forces him to drink the remaining poison,

    causing Claudius to fall to his death. When Hamlet finally dies, he begs his friend Horatio not to

    commit suicide due to his death and the stay. From this scene and story, one can just see the pure,

    raw emotion in it. The rage that comes from revenge and the sadness that comes due to Hamlet’s loss

    of loved ones.
    Another rhetorical strategy this scene from hamlet uses is Ethos. A large part of this scene are

    actions committed by Hamlet, Laertes, and Claudius due to revenge. A sense of betrayal is felt

    throughout this whole scene as everybody dies. The whole fight was caused by the death of Polonius,

    Laertes's good friend, as Laertes felt betrayed and upset by Hamlet's action. And the reason

    everybody dies is due to Claudius poisoning Laertes's sword and the drink, in the end, killing and

    poisoning everyone, including himself. When the queen and Laertes die, they both murmur

    something about the sword and drink being poisoned. Hamlet immediately knows it was his own

    father and sees his father's betrayal and kills him because of it. The rhetorical strategy ethos revolves

    around trust or lack of trust, something that is shown throughout Hamlet, but in this scene especially.

    In conclusion, the scene from Hamlet, Everybody dies – act 5 scene 2, uses the two rhetorical

    strategies ethos and pathos. This is due to the emotional relevance and connection in the scene – the

    emotions that overcome it and cause it. This is also due to the amount of betrayal and lack of trust

    that occurs in this scene and causes the events and actions of Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes.
