Detailed explanation-1: -At Ophelia’s burial, the Priest reveals a widely held belief that Ophelia committed suicide, angering Laertes. Hamlet fights Laertes over Ophelia’s grave, angered by Laertes’ exaggerated emphasis of his sorrow and because he believes he loved Ophelia much more than her brother, Laertes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Laertes leaps into Ophelia’s grave to hold her once again in his arms. Grief-stricken and outraged, Hamlet bursts upon the company, declaring in agonized fury his own love for Ophelia.
Detailed explanation-3: -“If it be now, tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come; the readiness is all…” In the very next speech, Hamlet apologizes to Laertes for his behavior at the grave-site, claiming it was not him but his madness.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet apologizes for his madness doing Laertes evil rather than himself being the one in the wrong. He blames his own madness. Laertes’ father’s death was an accident. Hamlet compliments Laertes for his ability to act quickly and strongly.
