LAERTES
O, treble woe triple
Fall ten times treble on that cursed head
Whose wicked deed thy most ingenious sense
Deprived thee of! mind
sharp
Why is Laertes cursing Hamlet?
Hamlet is next in line to be king.and because
Laertes wants to be king, he resents Hamlet.
By killing Polonius, Hamlet caused Ophelia to fall into
a deep depression which robbed her of her sense of
reason and led to her death.
While Ophelia was alive Hamlet won all her
affection, and Laertes resents Hamlet for that.
Laertes believes that Hamlet killed Ophelia by
striking her ten times on her head with his sword.
