be useless and wantoncruelty. Hamlet is, through the whole piece, rather an in-strument than an agent. After he has, by the strat-agem of the play, convicted the king-, he makes noattempt to punish him; and his deatn is at last ef-fected by an incident which Hamlet had no part inproducing. The catastrophe is not very happily produced;the exchange of weapons is rather an expedient ofnecessity, than a stroke of art. A scheme might easily be formed, to kill Hamlet with the daggerand Laertes with the bowl. The poet is accused of having shown little re-gard to poetical justice, and may be charged withequal neglect of poetical probability. The appari-tion left the regions of the dead to little purpose:the revenge which he demands is not obtained, butby the death of him that was required to take it;and the gratification, which would arise from thedestruction of a usurper and a murderer, is abatedby the untimely death of Ophelia, the young, thebeautiful, the harmless, and the pious. JOHNSON.
