Detailed explanation-1: -Summary and Analysis Act IV: Scene 6 The first letter tells Horatio that pirates beset the ship on which Hamlet was being carried to England. In the ensuing battle, the pirates took Hamlet captive; they treated him well and brought him back to Denmark.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet asks Horatio to join him. The ship carrying Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to England has been attacked by a pirate vessel. In hand-to-hand fighting, Hamlet boarded the pirate boat, which then broke free, leaving Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to continue on their voyage to England without their prisoner.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pirates are a plot device called a deus ex machina. The pirates took Hamlet as their prisoner, treated him well, and brought him back to Denmark. Hamlet says they did this because they wanted a favor from the prince. Hamlet then tells Horatio that Horatio has to let the sailors bring his other letters to Claudius.
Detailed explanation-4: -Three major deaths that were directly Hamlet’s fault were Ophelia’s and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern’s. It is often thought that a lot of the deaths in the play had nothing to do with Hamlet.
