Hamlet

Act 5, sc. 2 lines 327-334: explain how these lines indicate a final change in hamlet.

HAMLET
Heaven make thee free of it. I follow thee.—
I am dead, Horatio.—Wretched queen, adieu!—
You that look pale and tremble at this chance,
330That are but mutes or audience to this act,
Had I but time (as this fell sergeant, Death,
Is strict in his arrest), O, I could tell you—
But let it be.—Horatio, I am dead.
Thou livest. Report me and my cause aright

Hamlet is content to die and he finally acts like a king in charge. He has no more to find out and seems to understand the nature of life. He delegates final responsibilities, to Horatio, without doubt or introspection. Hamlet, in his final moments, seems certain and deliberate.
