What is Claudius' response when Gertrude tells him Hamlet has murdered Polonius?

Hamlet doubts the ghost's statement that Claudius had murdered him--the ghost could be lying. He re-enacts the murder in a play and has it performed in front of Claudius. Sure enough, it causes an attack of conscience in Claudius.

A little more than kin and less than kind?
Hamlet's first line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is said in response to Claudius's line "And now my cousin Hamlet, and our son . . ." Hamlet is both nephew and stepson to Claudius, which is more kinship than is usual. "Less than kind" might mean that Claudius is not a kind person, with the sound pun on the words "kin" and "kind" The line might also mean that Hamlet is kin to Claudius (indeed, more than kin), but he is not of Claudius's kind--they are unlike.

What is Oedipus' response when Teiresias charges him with killing Laius?
He begins to deny everything, and starts arguing with Teiresias. After that, he blames Creon, claiming that Creon was jealous of Oedipus' power and wants the throne, so he murdered King Laius. When Creon enters, he says that he is already treated like a king and that he doesn't need the name of king to be treated like one. Later on in the tragedy, Oedipus begins to question himself.
What is meant by dominant pole in control systems?
The slowest poles of a system (those closest to the imaginary axis in the s-plane) give rise to the longest lasting terms in the transient response of the system. if a pole or set of poles are very slow compared to others in the transfer function, then they may dominate the transient response. If we plot the transient response of the system without accounting for the transient response of the fastest poles, we may find little difference from the transient response of the original system.
How does Gertrude not know how king Hamlet died?
She's not a doctor. Claudius claimed that Hamlet Sr. died of a snakebite, and she had no reason to believe otherwise. The key line is her response to Hamlet's "Almost as bad, dear mother, as to kill a king and marry with his brother." Hamlet is accusing her of the murder, but her response "To kill a king?" shows that to Gertrude the real shocker in Hamlet's statement is that his father was murdered at all. She had no idea.
Whose portrait does hamlet show Gertrude Why?
In the "Closet Scene", Act III Scene 4, Hamlet says to Gertrude "Look here, upon this picture, and on this; the counterfeit presentment of two brothers." He is showing her two portraits, one of the late king Hamlet and one of the current king Claudius. Hamlet goes on and on about how perfect his father was and how awful his uncle is. He is trying to get her to share his opinions about his father and uncle. But it makes no sense: she knows better than anyone what the two men look like and are like. It hasn't bothered her before and why should it? So why does what he says turn her eyes into her very soul, entering like daggers in her ears and cleaving her heart in twain? What has Hamlet told her which is new? The answer is, probably, in Hamlet's line "As kill a king, and marry with his brother." Her response is "as kill a king??" Let's leave aside for a moment the fact that Hamlet is accusing her, not Claudius who he knows to be guilty. His accusation encompasses her as a party to the crime. But it may very well be that Gertrude had no idea before this moment that her husband had been murdered, but now that Hamlet has suggested it, things start to fall into place. It is this which upsets her, not Hamlet's comparison of his father and Claudius.
How does Hamlet plan to catch the conscience of the king?
This line is from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2. Prince Hamlet has been told by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet, that Prince Hamlet's uncle, King Claudius, murdered his own brother, King Hamlet. Claudius then married the dead King Hamlet's wife and Prince Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude. Since Hamlet does not know if the ghost is truly his father and telling the truth, he devises a plan that he believes will prove if what the ghost has said is true. Actors have come to perform at Elsinore Castle for King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. Hamlet asks them to use his altered version of the play, in order to "catch the conscience of the King." The alteration tells the story of a Queen whose husband is murdered by poison. The poisoner then woos the Queen with gifts. Though she rejects him for awhile, in the end she accepts his love. Hamlet plans to watch Claudius' reaction to the altered portion of the play, and discern from that response if Claudius is guilty. His fear of King Claudius' power, and his desire to shame his mother, Queen Gertrude, is the reason for Hamlet's indirect method of accusing the King. If Hamlet's plan doesn't work, he will still be free to pursue other possibilities.

What type of madness does Shakespeare present in Hamlet?
All of the characters make poor decisions, but only two things are actually referred to as mad. Hamlet's madness is mostly feigned, but the things he does that the court sees as insane are to speak insultingly and cryptically, and to kill Polonius. Ophelia's madness is real, and consists of speaking cryptically and singing bawdy songs, handing out flowers, and either drowning herself or failing to save herself from being drowned. So the two overt types of madness are to be rude and inappropriate in public, and to show a reckless lack of regard for human life. Whether characters such as Hamlet and Claudius also display more subtle forms of madness is open to debate.
In hamlet What is the king's response?
"The King rises." Of course the text is not clear about exactly what Claudius is feeling when he rises. Certainly the representation of his murder of Hamlet Sr. has hit home--we know that from the following scene where he struggles with his guilt. On the one hand Claudius may rise because he is horrified by the memory of his crime, and he is distracted. On the other, Claudius may recognise the play for exactly what it is, may understand exactly what is troubling Hamlet, and rises because he refuses to put up with any more. The first may be called the "Claudius out of control" reading and the latter may be called the "Claudius in control" reading. Either one works.

What does Gertrude's think of Hamlet behavior?
The only thing that Gertrude says is, "The lady protests too much, methinks," after Hamlet asks her, "Madam, how like you this play?" The "lady" that she is talking about is the Queen of King Gonzago in The Murder of Gonzago. Gonzago tells his Queen that he will die soon, and says that he hopes the Queen will find a second husband who loves her as much as he does. In response to that, the Queen (who Gertrude calls "the lady") goes on and on about how horrible it is for a widow to take a second husband. Gertrude's comment, "The lady protests too much, methinks," means that the Queen of Gonzago is being melodramatic and unrealistic.

How did the Roman Emperor Claudius handle unrest in Judea in the first century AD?
There was no unrest in Judea when Claudius became emperor. There had been some unrest under his predecessor Caligula because he wanted turn the temple in Jerusalem into a shrine with an enormous statue of himself in the guise of Jupiter. This caused some unrest, but Agrippa dissuaded his friend Caligula and the unrest ended. By the time of the accession of Claudius Judea was quiet. Agrippa was not really a king (even though her was the grandson of Herod the Great.) Claudius gave him the governorship of the province in the place of the procurator Marullus and with the appellation of "king". Agrippa was not a de facto king, so much so that on his death the governorship reverted back to a Roman procurator. Claudius appointed Agrippa because he was a very close friend of his.
