King Claudius and Laertes. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern may also be in on the plot to have him executed by the English, but probably not.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
He does two important things. The first is to name Claudius as the killer, finally allowing Hamlet to kill him honorably. The second is to make peace with Hamlet and "exchange forgiveness," which in the complex spiritual framework of the play might mean that the two of them get to avoid the hellish fate that King Hamlet suffered and that most of the dead characters presumably get.
hamlet killed king Claudius, Polonius, and laertes. (he technically killed rosencrantz & guildenstern because of a letter telling the king of England to kill them)
Laertes asks Hamlet to forgive him for killing him. In exchange, he offers to forgive Hamlet for killing him (and perhaps also his father and sister.) This may be just so he can die in peace or it may have some bearing on where the two end up in the afterlife.
He's asking her to compare his father and Claudius. In Hamlet's mind, his father was a paragon and his uncle a satyr. There is actually no reason to imagine that Hamlet is accurate in his assessment of the two brothers; in this play, we are constantly being drawn into Hamlet's own fantasy world and his warped perception of the people around him. Hamlet wants Gertrude to enter into his fantasy perception of Claudius and her relationship with him. But one of his remarks seems to have hit home: "Almost as bad, dear mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother." "As kill a king?" she asks, incredulous. And it seems as if she has never before contemplated the possibility that her first husband may have been murdered and her second husband did it. She is trying to get her head around this when Hamlet is going on about how wrong it is for her to have a sex life.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern
In the exposition of Act 1 Scene 5 in Hamlet, two characters speak: the ghost of King Hamlet and Prince Hamlet. The ghost reveals the circumstances of his death to Hamlet, setting the tone for the rest of the play.
Plot isn't necessarily more important than characters. If you don't have good characters, the plot is going to fall flat and the story will be dull or confusing. Plot and character are the two halves of a story.
They are minor characters from the play, Hamlet by William Shakespeare. The two characters are Hamlet's friends that are represented as being rather dumb and more or less play the role of comic relief within the play.

Literary foil is when two characters are very different and their differences help characterize them.For example, Hamlet and Horatio are foils. Hamlet is very indecisive and Horatio is decisive. Horatio being indecisive helps the reader realize that Hamlet is indecisive.
It should come as no surprise that the word "genetic" is not used in Hamlet. The concept of genetics doesn't occur either as the concept wasn't figured out until several hundred years after the play was written. There are two family relationships between characters in the play Hamlet & Gertrude were the parents of Hamlet the prince Polonius is the father of Laertes and Ophelia None of the characters displays any trait which might be genetically linked to their known parents.

Dialogue refers to a conversation between two or more people or characters in a literary work, play, or movie. It is a verbal exchange that helps to advance the plot, develop characters, or convey information.
The two main outcast characters in "To Kill a Mockingbird" are Boo Radley, who is isolated by his reclusive nature and the rumors surrounding him, and Tom Robinson, a black man who is wrongly accused of a crime due to racial prejudice. Both characters face discrimination and isolation in the novel.
