Just before laertes dies, he says to hamlet, “exchange forgiveness with me, noble hamlet: / mine and my father's death come not upon thee, / nor thine on me! ” what is the best interpretation of hamlet's reply, “heaven make thee free of it! ” in the last scene of the play? hamlet scorns laertes' request as too little, too late. hamlet does not think that laertes deserves his forgiveness. hamlet believes that he cannot do for laertes what only god can do. hamlet reconciles with laertes.

The correct answer for the question would be option C "Hamlet believes that he cannot do for Laertes what only God can do", the fact that Hamlet uses the word Heaven in his phrase makes it seem like only God has the ability to forgive Laertes, and if he so chooses to do so, would be "freeing him", and therefore Hamlet “washed his hands” of the obligation (forgiving Laertes).
