Hamlet
Why can't Claudius be forgiven of his foul murder? ( Support with direct quote.)
Act III scene III
Act III scene III
He retains the fruits of his offences. He's not willing to give them up,
Forgive me my foul murther'?
That cannot be; since I am still possess'd
Of those effects for which I did the murther-
My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen.
May one be pardon'd and retain th' offence?
