On this trip, Claudius actually sends him to his death. While Hamlet pretends to accentuate his madness and accede to Claudius's demands, he creates a diversion in advance. In a convoluted letter to Claudius, Hamlet claims that he has been captured by pirates and is on his way home. As Hamlet is alone again, he presents his seventh soliloquy saying: "Led by a delicate and tender prince...How can I then/Who cause a father to be killed, a mother to be defiled...And let them all sleep" (4.5.56 -60). In this soliloquy, Hamlet is once again frustrated by his lack of action. He knows that Fortinbras, prince of Norway, raised an army for an insignificant piece of land and here he is, prince of Denmark, and he cannot even help his father. He blames himself and would have liked to kill Claudius when he had the time.
