Answer 4

Hamlet learns from the Ghost of his father that his father was killed by his uncle, who has since married Hamlet's mother.

Hamlet decides to act crazy while figuring out what to do.

His uncle Claudius sets spies on him because of his crazy behaviour.

Hamlet confirms that the Ghost was telling the truth by putting on a play mirroring the murder of his father. Unfortunately this also tips Claudius off (he was pretty suspicious anyway)

Hamlet catches and kills a spy in his mother's bedroom. Unfortunately it is the king's advisor Polonius.

Claudius sends Hamlet to England.

Polonius's son Laertes comes from France to revenge his father. Claudius tells him that Hamlet had killed Polonius.

Hamlet doesn't get to England because of pirates, and returns to Denmark.

Claudius and Laertes set up a Fencing match where Hamlet is to be murdered by an unbuttoned poisoned sword and a poisoned cup of wine. Hamlet gets cut by the poisoned sword but so does Laertes, and Hamlet's mother drinks the poisoned wine. Before he dies, Hamlet stabs and poisons Claudius to death.

7. Hamlet escapes the trap and returns to Denmark.
8. Claudius sets up a fencing match for Hamlet with a poisoned sword and other death traps.
9. The death traps cause a lot of collateral damage, but do fatally wound Hamlet, who kills Claudius before dying himself.

Answer 6

Polonius arranges to overhear a conversation between Hamlet and his mother. Hamlet arrives and starts giving his mother a hard time. She cries out; Polonius cries out; Hamlet stabs and kills Polonius. Hamlet keeps on giving his mother a hard time. The Ghost shows up and tells him to lay off, but when the ghost is gone, Hamlet continues lecturing Gertrude then leaves dragging the corpse of Polonius.

Answer 7

In Scene 1 the King and Polonius plan to spy on Hamlet when he talks to Ophelia; Hamlet entertains them with the "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy then has a fight with Ophelia in which he tells her to get to a nunnery. He then leaves; Ophelia thinks he is crazy; Polonius thinks he is in love; Claudius doesn't think either. In Scene II Hamlet tells the actors how to do their job, then asks Horatio to watch Claudius during the play, which is enacted and Claudius storms out in the middle of it. Hamlet gets all gleeful with Horatio as clearly the Ghost was telling the truth. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern come by to tell Hamlet that his mother wants to see him, and Hamlet abuses them. In Scene III Claudius tells R & G that they must go to England with Hamlet, and agrees for Polonius to spy on Gertrude's interview with Hamlet. Being left alone, Claudius attempts to pray about the guilt the play has reminded him of; Hamlet comes by but won't kill him because he wants Claudius to go straight to Hell. Instead in Scene IV he goes to his mother's room, starts browbeating her, hears Polonius spying and stabs him to death. He keeps on browbeating when he is interrupted by the ghost who tells him to lay off. When the ghost is gone, Hamlet continues to lecture Gertrude and the Act ends with him dragging off the corpse of Polonius.

Answer 8

To put the plot points in order someone will need to know what they are. Since the points are not given a person would not be able to know what the answer is.
