In the play, “Hamlet”, by William Shakespeare, three things are said to be this turning point. The play-within-a-play, the prayer scene, and the scene in Gertrude’s room are usually picked as these three turning points. Although each of these serves its purpose in making the conclusion of the story that much more inevitable, the one that does the best job of accomplishing this goal is the prayer scene. Although the prayer scene is less than four pages long and contains only 99 lines of dialogue, it accomplishes more in terms of setting up the ending of the play than any other scene does.

Things can not stay the way they are and with this Claudius decides to send Hamlet to England.
