An explanation of the different versions of Act 4, Scene 4 in myShakespeare's Hamlet. 

[Enter Fortinbras at the head of a Norwegian army with one of his captains at his side]

Fortinbras

Go, captain, from me, greet the Danish King. 

myShakespeare's Act 4, Scene 4 of Hamlet is shorter than other common classroom versions of the text. We've chosen to use the first folio edition of Hamlet, which does not feature the rest of 4.4 and Hamlet's final, seventh soliloquy, which only appears in the second quarto edition. For the full version scene, including this soliloquy, please see our Appendix.
