Mr. Sullivan, my 12th grade English teacher, made us dress up in Burger King crowns and sword fight with paper towel tubes to make sense of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Here at the American School in Guadalajara we are going to use the internet instead. In the posts below, follow us as we seek to understand why this really is the greatest play in the English language.

IV, 7
Now that we're at the end of Act 4, make a prediction for how this play will end.
Well, I think that Hamlet is going to come back and when they do the duel Hamlet will also have a plan of killing his rival. Hamlet is such a smart person that no one can fool him, and I think he will kill his rival and then his uncle hopefully. Finally it will just be him and his mother without all the problems that the uncle causes.
Hamlet will return, and he will get more mad at Claudius because of the way they treated Ophelia, and because of her death. He and Leartes will fight, but I think that Leartes, and Claudius will die. I also think that Hamlet´s best friend will die, and he will be really mad. He and his mother will rule again Denmark.
I think that Hamlet will come back and kill Claudius, he will probably kill Laertes too and finally he will kill himself or get himself killed because he has nothing to live for, I think...
I think that Hamlet is going to come back and Laertes will try to kill him but Laertes will see the real truth or maybe die, the uncle will probably be totally revealed and he will comitt suicide while Gertrude will try to wash her hands and say that ít wasn´t her fault.
I think this play will end dramatically and with the death of most of the characters, just like Romeo and Juliette ended. I think Hamlet will murder Claudius, Gertrude will commit suicide, and Hamlet also will commit suicide. This is how I think the play will end, since most of the time these kinds of plays end up being tragic and many life-takers.
Hamlet will end badly. With this said, I think Hamlet will kill Claudius and commit suicide, and therefore Gertrude have the greif of losing her ex-ex husband, ex-husband and son.
Gertrude will find out the truth about who killed Hamlet's father, and won't forgive herself for eternity. She is doomed for life and death.
Since Shakespeare is well known for making his characters´s destiny as worst as possible, just like Romeo and Juliette, I think the play will end in a complete disaster. Hamlet will return and will know about Ophelia´s dead. This will anger him so much because he will realize it was his fault. Beacuse he can´t bear life no more, he will commit suicide. When Gertrude knows about this, she will also commit suicide, followed by Claudius, who can´t manage his guilt no more. To makes things worst, I think Norway will take control of Denmark.
I think this play's drama will continue to get stronger and stronger. I think that Hamlet will return, but he will get to a point in which we won't be able to tell if he is actually crazy or is still acting. This will cause more and more deaths. I this Claudius will not be killed until the end of the play. Maybe Gertrude will be the one who kills Claudius in the end, and then will commite suicide. Hamlet in the end will die, already being crazy. Carolina Esqueda
I think that Hamlet will defenetly kill Claudius. I'm not sure if with the help of the Norway troops or he will surprise him with his return. And somehow Gertrude will get in the middle of Claudius death and se will be injurde or killed as well.
Hamlet will not escape form death and will commit suicide.
Hamlet will return and in turn kill Claudious. Ophelias brother wil be overhealmed by the fact that the now king murdered Hamlet's father, his own brother, and will forgive Hamlet.
My prediction to the end of the play is that Hamlet will come back to the casttle for vengeance. He will come up with a plan and also his uncle. They will try to kill each other but their plans will fail and all of them will die by accident.
I think that Hamlet will come back to kill smeone and hat may be Claudius. and no one will know that he killed him they would just s hamlet as a normal person how help them Christopher Amaya
I think there's going to be much tension between Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes. There are certainly going to be many deaths; I think that at least both Hamlet and Claudius will die, if not more characters as well. After much confusion I think Hamlet is going to stab Claudius in front of everyone and then someone is going to kill Hamlet for killing Claudius
I think that Hamlet is going to return from England and will defy his uncle Claudis. At the end he will win the challenge and everybody will be very happy. I think that Gertrude will die eventually, because the play has shown us a lot of deaths and tragedies all over the course of the movie. Gertrude at the end will know that Claudius kiilled his husband.
