The gravedigger (actually the Sexton Clown) thinks Hamlet was sent to England because he was mad. Here is the relevant dialogue. ~=~ Hamlet: Aye, marry, why was he sent into England? Sexton Clown: Why? Because he was mad! He shall recover his wits there, or if he do not, 'tis no great matter there. Hamlet: Why? Sexton Clown: 'Twill not be seen in him there; there, the men are as mad as he. ~=~
The clowns, rather the gravediggers, talk like that because when they are talking Hamlet is not present. It is after one of the gravediggers has exited that Hamlet and Horatio enter.
Claudius sends Hamlet to England after Hamlet kills Polonius. However, Hamlet's ship is intercepted by pirates and Hamlet is able to talk his way on to their boat and back to Denmark. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern remain on Hamlet's boat and land in England, where they are executed.
If we talk about the ghost ,it was Hamlet's father King Hamlet's ghost and it appears four times throughout the play.
He plans to get Hamlet to talk to Ophelia, while he and Claudius are eavesdropping.
Talk to him while he is in the forest when he has five on a sunny day to active his request.
It's easier to talk about who is related to whom. Hamlet is Gertrude's son and Claudius's nephew and stepson, and of course the son of the Ghost. Polonius is Laertes's father and Ophelia's father. Everyone else is unrelated.
Who to talk to to find out if a reservist can be recalled for active duty?
In the second act, Polonius reports to King Claudius and Queen Gertrude that his daughter, Ophelia, witnessed Hamlet behaving oddly, but it is implied that his behaviour is the talk of the castle.
It's actually an arras that Polonius hides behind. Both times Polonius hides behind an arras, he does so to eavesdrop on what Hamlet says to somebody else. First, Polonius hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Ophelia, then later, he hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Gertrude.
Which time? In Act 1 he was waiting for the ghost to show up, hoping he would talk to him. In Act 3, Hamlet is haranguing his mother when the ghost turns up (well at least Hamlet sees and hears him).
Not exactly. Fortinbras is transporting his army to Poland. Hamlet enters as they pass and questions one of the soldiers in the army as to what is going on. But he doesn't actually talk to Fortinbras himself. Fortinbras leaves the stage as Hamlet comes on.
