Tips on making this line better?

[FONT=&quot]I'm explicating Hamlet's last soliloquy. This is my conclusion for one of the paragraphs. I found this sentence to be quite confusing to read, so please help me fix this sentence!

Only after witnessing the extent Fortinbras’s army is willing to do for honor is he fully resolved to avenge his father. [/FONT]

How about this:

Only after witnessing how far Fortinbras’s army is willing to go for honor does he fully resolve to avenge his father.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm explicating Hamlet's last soliloquy.

Your sentence is not wrong, but 'explicate' is rarely used transitively.

More natural would be 'I'm paraphrasing/clarifying/rephrasing/ simplifying/demystifying Hamlet's last soliloquy'.

For someone new to English, deciphering wouldn't be much of an exaggeration, either!
