Act four of Hamlet, the soliloquy of scenes four marks the turning point of Hamlet's character throughout the end of the play. The soliloquy is composed of five thematic scenes described as both declamatory and confessional. The first part of Hamlet's soliloquy is a declamation defining his mission and his means of action. The third and fourth parts are his confessions where he questions the failure of his revenge. The final stage of his soliloquy defines the decisive turning point in Hamlet's character.
