When Hamlet says "we defy augury," he is rejecting the notion of interpreting omens or signs to predict the future. This statement reflects his belief that one should not be bound by superstitions or fate, particularly in the face of uncertainty and chaos. By defying augury, Hamlet emphasizes human agency and the struggle to forge one's own path despite external pressures and the unpredictable nature of life. It underscores his internal conflict and the theme of fate versus free will in the play.

Who feels readiness is all in Hamlet?
Hamlet says it. It's not really clear whether he feels it. In fact, the whole discussion is sparked by his remark, "Thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart." Hamlet thinks he will win the contest, but he has a sense of foreboding. He's worried. Horatio tells him not to proceed with the contest if he's worried about it. Hamlet rallies and says "We defy augury. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it is not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all." He means that what will happen, will happen, and all we can do is to be ready for it. He doesn't feel ready for it, he's worried about it, but all he can do is to try to get himself ready. He can't change it.

What is the climatic scene in Hamlet?
I think the psychological climax is in the last scene of the play. Throughout the play, Hamlet has struggled with himself about his reaction to the Ghost's revelations and command to take revenge on King Claudius; he has called himself a coward, passed up a chance to kill the King, and blamed himself for not being decisive. But in the last scene, after having a premonition that the fencing match with Laertes might mean his death, Hamlet seems suddenly to achieve a kind of serenity. He says to Horatio: we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes? Let be. (5.2.219-224)
