Hamlet Act 5 Scene 1

https://shorturl.im/ooK4iBasically, Hamlet is visited by his father and learns some of the harsh truths surrounding his father&rsquo;s death. His father tells Hamlet to avenge his death, but Hamlet being the melancholy fella that he is has to ponder it for ages before he decides what his father is really saying. There are a couple of different ways that The Ghost of Hamlet&rsquo;s father can be seen: 1.) he is an actual ghost, back from the dead to visit Hamlet and seek revenge or 2.) he is a physcological image, created in Hamlet&rsquo;s mind to help Hamlet deal with what is going on. So, essentially, Hamlet is having a dialogue with himself.

The line that the game talks about is this one (and the reason it said “Woo’t”
HAMLET ‘Swounds, show me what thou’lt do: 260 
 Woo’t weep? woo’t fight? woo’t fast? woo’t tear thyself? 
 Woo’t drink up eisel? eat a crocodile?
 I’ll do’t. Dost thou come here to whine? 
 To outface me with leaping in her grave? 
 Be buried quick with her, and so will I: 
 And, if thou prate of mountains, let them throw 
 Millions of acres on us, till our ground,
 Singeing his pate against the burning zone, 
 Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou’lt mouth, 
 I’ll rant as well as thou.
