Hamlet's One Chance
Captions available
The idea
In act three Hamlet comes upon Claudius alone and kneeling. He has, by this point in the play, satisfied himself of the king's guilt. He draws his sword. The scene is the single clearest opportunity he is given in five acts.
In practice
Alone, kneeling, and a drawn sword.
Where people slip
His clearest opportunity in the play.
