Quote by William Shakespeare
And will 'a not come again? And will 'a not come again? No, no, he is dead, Go to thy death bed: He will never come again.
Summary
This quote is from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude after Hamlet confronts her about her new husband, his uncle Claudius, who has killed Hamlet's father. In this sorrowful plea, Gertrude reflects on her late husband's irreversible death and expresses her belief that he will never return. The repetition of the phrase "And will 'a not come again?" emphasizes her acceptance of the finality of death and her realization that she has moved on with her life, albeit into an uncertain future with Claudius.
