Horatio. (Act 5, Scene 2, line 327) He's referring to the death of Hamlet.
That depends on usage. A hamlet, referring to a small town, would be a common noun. While Hamlet, referring to the name of Shakespeare's play, would be a proper noun.

Hamlet is referring to his real father, who is dead, not his step-father. He means that his mother has insulted the memory of her late husband, the deceased king, by marrying Hamlet's uncle soon after the late king's death.
We are informed of elder Hamlet's death by seeing his ghost appear.
As the soliloquy at that point is indeed speaking about death (Hamlet is contemplating suicide) it suggests that he is talking about the afterlife - from which no one has ever returned - except of course Jesus Christ. (Allegedly mind you...)
Claudius and Laertes plot to kill Hamlet.
I believe that he is speaking about Hamlet Senior and his recent death, that it is fresh.
Laertes blamed Prince Hamlet for Polonius' death. He sought revenge against Hamlet for killing his father, believing him to be responsible for the tragedy.
According to Hamlet, the fear of death makes all of us cowards.
Frequently. Hamlet is one of the bloodiest plays in all of Shakespeare.
What will Hamlet do with the information he received from his father's ghost regarding his murder? Will Hamlet avenge his father's death?
