Hamlet by William Shakespeare is the play of a son, Hamlet, who seeks revenge for his father's death cause by his uncle. The readers of this play are inclined to await for Hamlet to seek his revenge.

Be all my sins remember'd" (ll. 64-98). This silioque tends to give it's readers a feeling of suicide and to be empathetic towards the speaker.
