If we take it that Hamlet killed Polonius believing him to be the king, and therefore as a part of his plot for revenge, then Polonius's death, and indirectly Ophelia's arise from his act of revenge. Claudius of course dies from Hamlet's revenge. Gertrude, Laertes and Hamlet die as a result of Laertes and Claudius's plot. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die just because Hamlet doesn't much like them.

Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.
What effect did the multiple deaths in act five have on you William Shakespeare?
Well, I am not William Shakespeare, but since he's dead I hope you don't mind if I answer. The multiple deaths in Act Five are the inevitable result of responding to injury with injury. Except killing Lavinia--that was just gratuitous. The whole play is about escalating revenge: Tamora taking revenge for the death of Alarbus, then Titus takes revenge for that revenge and so on. By Act five it is a frenzy of insane killing that leaves a heap of corpses on the stage--not only Tamora, Titus and Saturninus, but also Lavinia and the remains of Chiron and Demetrius. The effect is shocking but casts a light on the indifference to human life which is apparent from the very start of the play.
