Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius and Laertes. Hamlet and Claudius are protagonist and antagonist, Polonius is essential because his death is a trigger for the tragedy, and Laertes is essential because his is the instrument of revenge. Gertrude is essential because it is through her that Polonius dies. Some would want to replace Gertrude with Horatio, but Horatio is just an observer; he doesn't actually do anything.
prince hamlet, the title character is the son of late king of Denmark, who was also named Hamlet.
they are HAMLET,TY ELY,DESDEMONA,SABER,MAURI, AND JUDITH :P
The only protagonist in Hamlet is Hamlet, who emerges victorious only in the sense that he does end up getting his revenge on Claudius. Everyone else dies in the process, however.
Laertes best suits the similarities between Macduff and himself. Both of them lost their family because of the protagonist (Hamlet killed Polonius and unintentionally caused Ophelia's death while Macbeth killed Macduff's wife and son). As well, they swore they would take revenge on the protagonist in which both of them successfully did however Laertes did die. Another similarity is that they both do not like the protagonist as much. For example, Laertes does not want Ophelia hanging around with Hamlet as Hamlet could be after her body and not her love while Macduff does not like Macbeth at all since he's been acting crazy and seems like a tyrant.
King Hamlet isn't. King Hamlet was. In the play Hamlet, King Hamlet was the previous king of Denmark and father to Prince Hamlet after whom the play is named. At the time the play starts. King Hamlet is already dead. However, his ghost makes an appearance in Act 1 Scene 1 and in three scenes thereafter.
Antigone is the protagonist and Creon the antagonist in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the protagonist is the main character, the holder of great powers and the doer of great deeds. This description fits Theban Princess Antigone, around whom the play's action centers because of her great deed of burying her brother and her great powers of defending divine will. In contrast, the antagonist is the main villain, who does no great deed and holds no great power. The description fits Creon, who defies divine will and cherished Theban traditions and cares not a bit about making all Thebes suffer for his paranoid fear of being overthrown.The protagonist is Antigone, the antagonist is Creon.
No, he happens to be the antagonist in Julius Caesar...

It is overly long and not in modern English, and Hamlet, as the protagonist, is not accessible as a character because of his mental imbalance.
The famous person who created the allusion "To be or not to be, that is the question" is William Shakespeare. This line comes from his play, Hamlet, where the protagonist, Hamlet, contemplates the meaning of life and death.

An antagonist is the person, or thing acting against the protagonist, or hero. It does not have to be the same species as the protagonist, or even alive at all. The foil always is. The foil, is a character who has contrasting/complementary characteristics to the protagonist. It's easiest to think of Hamlet, and realize that although King Claudius was the antagonist, it was Laertes who played the foil. The foil can be the antagonist, or a side kick, or anywhere in between.
In "Hamlet," cruelty is used to showcase the destructive nature of revenge and the moral decay that comes with it. In "Macbeth," cruelty serves to illustrate the corrupting influence of power and ambition, leading to the downfall of the protagonist. Both plays explore the consequences of immorality and the human capacity for evil.
the play is called Hamlet and was writing by William Shakespeare.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet
