I, his sole son, do this same villain send

To Heaven

The third option is the answer

Answer 2

Hamlets turning point is when his sister kills herself by drowning. (Although i believe it may be his lover, her craziness and grieving confused me) . Anyway reality hits him a little and that's when just about everyone dies, as all shakespeare's tragedies turn out.
