Answer from: Senica

The interaction of Hamlet and Osric is to provide a comic relief to the play.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's tragedy play "Hamlet" is about the revenge of the death of the senior Hamlet at the hands of his brother Claudius. The young prince Hamlet was instigated and made known by his father's ghost about the murder which brought forth the whole sequence of the play.

Act V scene ii of the play shows the interaction of Hamlet with Osric, a courtier. The courtier had been sent by the king Claudius to tell him about the bet he had made regarding the duel of Hamlet and Leartes. Claudius and Leartes had planned a duel where Hamlet would be killed. Osric was the messenger/ relayer of information. We can also deduce from this scene that he will do anything to make a place for himself, and that his position in the king's court matters to him more than anything. But with the way Hamlet responds and plays down his words provides a humorous tone to the serious issue of the impending duel. This interaction gives a much needed comic relief in between the whole play.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
