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)
What occurs in act v scene viii lines 35-75 in Macbeth?
Actually, there is no Act V Scene 8 in the earliest version of the play we have--the First Folio of 1623. In that version the last scene of the play is Act V Scene 7, and it is the same in all the 17th century folios, as well as Davenant's Restoration adaptation. However, modern editors have chopped Act 5 into 8, 9, or as many as 11 different scenes. And the scene which is scene 8 does not always start with the same lines. However, the lines which start that part of scene 7 most often called scene 8 are:Macbeth: Why should I play the Roman fool and dieOn mine own sword? whiles I see lives, the gashesDo better upon them.

Which scene is ironic in Romeo and Juliet?
All of them. I suppose the most ironic scene is the very last one. Romeo goes into the mausoleum and sees juliet and says to himself 'Wow for being dead for a day she looks really alive! Wow she's warm, thats weird... Well I guess I should drink this poison now because Juliet's dead.' so he drinks it and the last thing that he sees is Juliet's horrified look as she awakens to Romeo's death. That is irony at it's most classic.
Who says the last lines in 'Oedipus Rex'?
The chorus says the last lines in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, one of the chorus' functions is summarizing the onstage events. The very last lines indeed do just that. The chorus concludes with the ironic observation that Oedipus knows how to solve the Sphinx's riddle but cannot solve the riddle of his own existence. The chorus then asserts that happiness is fleeting and that life is pain.
