. When Hamlet sees Laertes jump into Ophelia's grave in grief, he follows him professing his own grief. He says that "forty thousand brothers / Could not, with all their quantity of love, / make up my sum" (5.1.254-256). He treats grief as a competition and argues with Laertes over who is more grief-stricken. Hamlet even goes so far as
to say that he would eat a crocodile
for Ophelia, or he would be buried
alive with her.
