So my question id does anyone know where I can find critical essays that deal with Hamlet and I'm also suppose to thibk up 4 seminar questions for it. So if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!!

You're not going to find most critical essays online, at least outside of an academic database (most of which are only available to universities, colleges, and public libraries). To get the information you need, you need to go to the local library and ask the reference librarian to point you in the direction of the Shakespearean critical essays on Hamlet. They have a whole set of books (like encyclopedias) that give you the exact information you need, and the reference librarian can also help you pinpoint where the information is and help guide you in finding the right stuff.

I think the climax is when he jumped into the grave. There is a strong motif associating birth with death. See my essay, "The Womb of Earth," at http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/Motifs_in_Hamlet#The_Womb_of_Earth
Gertrude's remark hints that, after he came out of the grave, he woud be figuratively re-born with his "sovereignty of reason restored." I didn't cover that in my essay (just now thought of it.)
