The king prepares to send Hamlet to England, Polonius enters to tell him that Hamlet is talking to Gertrude to work out Hamlet’s madness. Polonius leaves and Claudius is left on his own, He then admits killing his brother “A brother’s murder. Pray can I not.” and attempts to pray but cannot as he can’t be forgiven for such a sin. Hamlet then enters the scene and has the chance to kill to Claudius but doesn’t as he thinks he has prayed meaning he won’t be punished in the afterlife. “A villain kills my father, and, for that, I, his sole son, do this same villain send to heaven.”
