Hamlet's Journey (Act 5)

Ham. Up from my cabin,

My sea-gown scarf'd about me, in the dark

Grop'd I to find out them; had my desire,

Finger'd their packet, and in fine withdrew

To mine own room again; making so bold

(My fears forgetting manners) to unseal

Their grand commission; where I found, Horatio

(O royal knavery!), an exact command,

Larded with many several sorts of reasons,

Importing Denmark's health, and England's too,

With, hoo! such bugs and goblins in my life—

That, on the supervise, no leisure bated,

No, not to stay the finding of the axe,

My head should be struck off.

This narrative part is words of Hamlet when he met Horatio after he accidentally visited Ophelia's tomb. In this passage Hamlet told Horatio his journey towards England, which is a journey through the ocean of conspires. And the visit to Ophelia's tomb deepen the wound of Hamlet's aching heart. This narration is the expression of hate, the conversation of fury and the condensation of revenge. Readers can feel the feeling of helpless, angry and impulse of our hero along the darkest journey of his life.
