From Hamlet Act 1, Scene 2, Page 4:
These indeed "seem,"
For they are actions that a man might play.
But I have that within which passeth show,
These but the trappings and the suits of woe.
The correct answer is: He's saying that outward appearances of grief may be feigned, but that what he feels is real grief.
In Act I, scene 2, Hamlet's mother Gertrude criticizes his mood as excessive mourning, but he responds by saying that what "seems" to be his outward melancholy is surpassed by his stronger inner feelings. These feelings are impossible for him to adequately express.
Hamlet is commenting on the difference between appearance and reality, one of the most pervasive themes in all of Shakespeare. He is reacting to his mother's question, "Why seems it so particular with you?" and he responds "Seems, madam? Nay, it is." He is saying that his mood is reality, not appearance. Any actor could pretend to be mourning by taking on the trappings of mourning; they are actions which a man might play (i.e. act). But, he insists, his grief is real, not put on, and the reality "surpasseth" the mere appearance.
hes saying that outward apperances of grief may be feinged, but that what he feels is real grief.
Horatio is the only balanced and self-controlled character in the play because he is more logic than emotional and is unbiased and unmoved by other characters actions and tragedies
Yes. See his speeches when Fortinbras arrives and when the Players arrive, for example.
to show the importance of the actions usually it uses actions more than speech just like the play of hamlet it consists of a dumb show
He doesn't. He does not use the word "fit" in that sense or the word "seizure" at all. (He only uses the adjective "fit" as in "fit and seasoned for his passage".
Act IV, Scene iv in Hamlet ends with his soliloquy. He muses about his motivations and how he needs to move forward with his revenge. At the end of the speech, he steels himself to only focus and act on his bloody thoughts (those that drive him toward his revenge on his uncle). However, later Hamlet will show that this resolve is only in his words and not his actions.
Which of Laertes' actions are we talking about? His leaping into Ophelia's grave? His statement that in terms of honour he remains aloof? His stabbing Hamlet with an unbated sword?
Laertes, son of Polonius and brother of Ophelia (both dead because of Hamlet's actions), decides to become Claudius' ally in order to take revenge on Hamlet.

Hamlet is directly responsible for the deaths of five people and indirectly for another. The first person to die because of Hamlet's actions is Polonius, who Hamlet stabs in the mistaken belief that he is King Claudius. This indirectly causes Ophelia's death. Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.

That it does not seem to guide one but does influence the other is the effect of religious faith on the decisions and actions of Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and of Hamlet in "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616).Specifically, Theban King Oedipus considers himself capable of outrunning fate and outwitting the gods. Oedipus therefore does not factor in religious parameters. In contrast, Danish Prince Hamlet hesitates precisely because he is guided by thoughts about right and wrong and about the consequences of reckless actions. His spiritual awareness shows up in his strategy to "catch the conscience of the king" about the murder of King Hamlet.
The main cause of death in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" is the result of poison. King Hamlet dies after being poisoned by his brother Claudius, and later Queen Gertrude also dies by consuming a poisoned drink intended for Hamlet. Ophelia's death is also indirectly caused by poison, as she drowns in a river after losing her reason due to Hamlet's actions.
Yes, in Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," Claudius dies as a result of a deliberate plan of action by Hamlet. Hamlet seeks revenge for his father's murder, which Claudius orchestrated, and plans to kill him. However, the final sequence of events leading to Claudius's death involves a combination of Hamlet's actions and circumstances beyond his control.
The speaker mentions Hamlet to show how he comes to terms with indecision and makes a stand
Laertes initially seeks revenge for his father's death by returning to Denmark and joining with Claudius to plot against Hamlet. However, he eventually realizes the truth about Claudius's betrayal and seeks redemption by reconciling with Hamlet and apologizing for his actions. Ultimately, Laertes dies in the final duel with Hamlet.
It's taken from Shakespeare's Hamlet and it is used when we see in a passage from a play, poem, scripture or work of literature ourselves.
