How do Claudius and Gertrude treat Hamlet's grief?
Claudius and Gertrude try to deal with Hamlet's sadness by giving a touching speech about how everything must die "passing from nature to eternity." Also, Claudius promises a party at which he will have his guards shoot canonns off every time he finishes a drink.

Is Ophelia younger than Laertes?
The text does not say for certain. Certainly Ophelia is treated like a child whereas Laertes is treated like someone more mature, but this may not be a true indication of their respective ages. Polonius and Laertes (and Hamlet for that matter) treat Ophelia as if she has no mind of her own, no capability of acting on her own. And indeed this appears to be the case, but it may be because she has always been treated like that, not because she is young.
How did people treat the Samurai?
With respect. If they did not treat him with respect, they would get killed.
What is the difference between Claudius' treatment of Laertes and his treatment of Hamlet?
Quite a lot. He respected Laertes, in public at least, and had no evil plans to kill him. Polonius, Laertes' dad, was Claudius' right hand man, and so Claudius had no reason to treat Laertes badly. Conversely, Claudius could never truly see Hamlet through the eyes of a father figure (as he told him he did) because C had killed Hamlet's dad. When the king found out that Hamlet knew about the murder of Hamlet snr., Claudius obviously distanced himself from Hamlet, even sending him to England to be killed.
Why is ophelia mad in hamlet?
The reason for Ophelia's madness, which is introduced in Act 4 Scene 5, is never directly stated in Hamlet. Probably causes include being instructed by her father and brother to stop seeing Hamlet, with whom she had been romantically involved. After breaking up with him, she watches him apparently go mad, and bears the brunt of one of his angry outbursts. Shortly after, her father Polonius is murdered by Hamlet himself, leaving her with no family in the area, as her brother Laertes is at school in France. The combination of these stressful and painful situations most likely leads Ophelia into madness. Ophelia's madness comes from not only being publicly humiliated by Hamlet but also hearing about how Hamlet murdered her father.
Abuse of women by men in Hamlet play?
In Act 1 Scene 3 Polonius is very insulting toward Ophelia, calling her a "green girl", and suggesting that she is incapable of assessing Hamlet's behaviour toward her. His message is that only he, Polonius, understands Hamlet (as he does not), and that she must obey and not try to think for herself. Her attempt to suggest that Hamlet might be honest in his affection is beaten down with insults. This seems to be the message she gets all the time from her family. We see Laertes treat her similarly earlier in the scene. Ophelia seems so tentative in her opinions: "My lord, I know not what to think", "My Lord, I do not know, but I do fear it" in Act 2 Scene 2. This would be a plausible result of long-term emotional abuse. Does Hamlet abuse Ophelia? This is a more complex question. He is certainly rude and angry in Act III Scene 1 "Get thee to a nunnery!" and his public behaviour toward her at the play-within-a-play is appalling. ("Shall I lie in your lap?" is the equivalent of saying "May I come in your pants?") But his anger and contempt probably springs from his knowledge that not only was she the bait offered by Polonius to trap him, but she was privy to the trap all the time. There does not seem to be a pattern of abuse; Ophelia seems to be puzzled and confused by his behaviour ("Oh, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown") Likewise, Hamlet is pretty tough on his mother in the closet scene. But then, he believes her to be privy to his father's death. "Almost as bad, dear mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother." His intent is to shame her and to persuade her to abandon Claudius, which she does without being forced, and they end the scene almost tenderly. Claudius is invariably tender and loving to Gertrude; he loves her dearly. That is why it is so sad when she goes to drink the poisoned wine. He says, "Gertrude, do not drink" but he cannot say out loud why she should not without exposing himself as a murderer. At this point, he must choose between himself and his loved one and shows his weakness by choosing himself.
