If you can't tell by now, I am getting a bit tired. I will try to come back to this last scene, but if I do not, the best thing you can do for this scene is to look at it through both a feminist and a psychoanalytic lens. The beauty of this scene is in the comparisons that Hamlet draws and how he draws them.
This scene is home to the complication. If Hamlet was remiss to act prior to this scene, he is now obligated to act. Think of all of the relationships that will be effected by the simple act of Hamlet stabbing a curtain (note what spying gets you).
