As I suffered I told Hamlet that it was Claudius and I who had committed foul play. I watched as he killed Claudius knowing he got what he deserved, I then exchanged forgiveness with Hamlet and then proceeded to pass away. #RipLaertes (Act 5 Scene 2)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

(Act 5 Scene 2) ran out of characters

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

The time has come for Hamlet and I to dual. We lined up and began, he got the first two points, only because I allowed it.I then decided to wound him, injecting him with the poison.In a scuffle we unknowingly switched swords and Hamlet ended up wounding me causing me to collapse.

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

The horror! First my beloved father and now my dear sister!! Poor Ophelia! Tears flow from my eyes restricting me from speaking. I love you Ophelia. #RipOphelia (Act 4 Scene 7)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

I’ll inform you of our plan: I will challenge Hamlet to a duel in fencing 🤺, secretly I will have poison on the tip of my sword and I will strike Hamlet. If this fails Claudius will have a poisoned chalice for Hamlet to drink from. Full proof. (Act 4 Scene 7)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

Claudius has informed me that Hamlet was my father’s killer, as well as word from Hamlet that he is on his way home aboard a pirate ship. Too bad he is unaware that this will be his final destination for we have devised a plan in order to avenge my father’s death. (Act 4 Scene 7)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

Wow! I’m angered at the lack of effort put into my father’s funeral. He deserves the funeral of a noble man, not a secret funeral. (Act 4 Scene 5)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

I’m filled with rage!!!! I will avenge my father’s death!! Headed back to Denmark with a multitude of supporters! Who ever murdered my father prepare yourself. 😤#RipPolonius (Act 4 Scene 5)

PSA: In order to focus on my studies I will be logging off until this semester ends. #determined (filler tweet in order to skip to where he returns in play ... don’t count this tweet towards the 25 needed)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

Farewell! France here I come!! Ready to return to my classes!! #cantwait #ready #graduationszn (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

I’ve received news from my father that my sister has obliged. (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

Oops... my father has informed me that I am late for my ship 🚢! Well I had a pleasant time in Denmark, hope to be back soon!! @Ophelia remember what I have told you, I love you! (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

Ahh here comes my father!! How lucky am I to be blessed bye him twice before my departure! #grateful (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

@Ophelia has turned the tables on me telling me that I mustn’t stray off into a path of sin while she is obedient. Don’t worry sister, I will be fine.(Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

@Ophelia you don’t have to give yourself to Hamlet. Be careful when you are with him and keep your love for each other under control. (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

It may be sad to hear @Ophelia, but one of those decisions might be leaving you. For you I hope that day doesn’t come. (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

@Ophelia - Hamlet is a royal family member, meaning that he cannot make personal choices for himself, rather he must make the choice that will lead the country in the right direction. (Act 1 Scene 3)

[Laertes @LaertesAPEng4]

@Ophelia thought otherwise... so I emphasized that as Hamlet matured physically, his responsibilities will grow as well. (Act 1 Scene 3)
