Scene 2
Claudius:
"It is the poison'd cup; it is too late."
This is pivotal because it is the beginning of the end. Right after Gertrude drinks from the cup, the king says this. And shortly after, almost everybody begins dropping dead from the poison. This line is the theme for everybody's death at the end of the scene.
About Me
- Queen Elizabeth
- I was a great disappointment to my parents. The fact that I was a girl greatly hindered my parents affection for me. After being officially illegitimate in the line of succesion to my father, I was reinstated and i was to be second in the line after King Edward. However, I received an impressive education and I am intilectually gifted. I have had to constantly defend myself against accusations of treason, one of which included the accusation that I had conspired with Thomas Wyat to seize the throne from my half sister Mary. There was no evidence against me but I was sent to the Tower of London as a prisoner. After being imprisoned for over a year, i finally acquired the throne on November 17th, 1558. I have never felt more accomplished! I love my extravagent lifestyle and I feel I led my country well. Although, to be honest, when I died at Richmond Palace on March 24th, 1603, England was in much better condition than that which I left it.
