Hamlet's father dies (was murdered) before the play begins so in the first act first scene he appears as a ghost. The ghost appears on the battlements of the castles and is first seen by the sentries up there. It is these men that inform Hamlet of the appearance of his father's ghost.

Who said this and What is it mean I'll call thee hamlet king father royal Dane?

Hamlet says this in Act I Scene 4 of Hamlet. He is talking to the ghost of his father who up to this point hasn't said a word. Hamlet is trying to figure out how to address him in order to make him speak. If he calls him by his name, Hamlet, will he respond? How about father? King? Royal Dane? Whatever he says, the ghost starts talking right away.

Why does Gertrude fear that Hamlet might kill her?

She has asked him to come to her room so she can bawl him out. Instead he is bawling her out. She is upset and she plans to leave so that she can call the guard. "Then I'll set those to you that can speak". But Hamlet won't let her go: "You shall not budge" he says to her. It is suggested that he physically restrains her. She believes he is crazy, remember? So here she is with a certifiable looney physically pinning her to a chair (or a bed in some productions)--why shouldn't she be alarmed and worry that he might do violence to her?

Who is the last person in the Hamlet play to speak?

There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?
