Her dad, Laertes, is hiding behind a curtain to spy on Hamlet for the king, because Hamlet is pretending (?) to be crazy to make himself seem like less of a threat.
While Hamlet is yelling at his mom for marrying the king (who also killed Hamlet’s dad— the old king), he hears Laertes behind the curtain and stabs him to death. Afterwards he realizes that he killed his girlfriend’s dad.
It’s a great play, I highly recommend reading a synopsis and then watching it.

And I would recommend skipping the film adaptation from 2000 with Ethan Hawke just-in-case anyone was curious
He could have just pulled the curtain back to see who it was. He took playing the crazy guy a little too far 😔
Hiding behind a curtain is how a 5yr old spies. Polonius had it coming.
Could have been an assassin.
Bro needs to learn to slice the pie and check those corners.
Hide and seek with dire consequences!
I would also recommend “To be or not to be” by Ryan North. It is a choose your own adventure version of the play. Well worth your time.
Laertes is her brother, her father is Polonius
You’re absolutely right! Thanks, edited.
