"Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder."
Simple as that. He wants young Hamlet to kill the man who murdered him. Hamlet summarizes the request as "Remember me!" but it's clear that what is meant is a call to vengeance.
He's not in a position to leave it to anyone. Kings in Denmark at that time were chosen by election. That's why he says, "But I do prophesy the election lights on Fortinbras." He then says that he personally recommends him: "He has my dying voice." That's like saying "I think so-and-so will win the election. That's who I'm voting for anyway."
Claudius sends for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to spy on him, but I think you are referring to his request for Ophelia to speak with Hamlet in the lobby while he and her father, Polonius, hide behind he arras to overhear.
As he dies Hamlet recommends that the throne of Denmark pass to Fortinbras - the son of the King of Norway who was killed by Hamlet's father.
It seems a very strange choice.
Polonius was the adviser to Hamlet Sr (Hamlet's father), and during the play he is the adviser to the new king: Claudius (Hamlet's uncle)
Fortinbras.yea.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
His friend Horatio.
Fortinbras
The death of his father and the marriage of his mother to his uncle Claudius cause Hamlet to leave Wittenberg.
You betcha. "Revenge my most unnatural murder." is what he says.
Hamlet despises the drunken revelry at night. He believes that the drunk acts committed within the kingdom have cast rumors far and wide, leading to a ruined reputation of the King and kingdom as a whole.
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.
Well, a lot of people: Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, and Laertes.
Hamlet's father is also named Hamlet. He was King Hamlet of Denmark until he died, allegedly because of his brother Claudius, who took his kingdom and his wife.

the ghost instructs hamlet to leave his mother alone but hamlet confronts her anyway (apex)
Marcellus says that there is something rotten in the state of Denmark while Hamlet leaves to meet the ghost dragging the dead body of Polonius with him. Gertrude watches him leave as she reports that Ophelia has just died. But perhaps it would be clearer if we knew which of the three scene 4s in Hamlet we were talking about.

Hamlet suggests that he may act crazy. The audience does not know how Hamlet will avenge his father's death. It is not yet known whether Hamlet will fulfill his father's wish.
He did, at the end of Act V.
Yes. "It faded on the crowing of the cock."
Hamlet is set in the Kingdom of Denmark, a Northern European nation. The time period in which Hamlet is set is unknown. However, it can be reasonably assumed that the play takes place in the Medieval period or in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries.
