What reference was made in a shakespeare play to the groundlings?
In Hamlet Act III Scene 2, Hamlet says "O! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumbshows and noise." Hamlet did not have a very high opinion of the groundlings, but then, Hamlet is a snob.
What line tells Hamlet there may have been an affair between Gertrude and Claudius?
The ghost tells him: "Ay, that incestuous, that adulterous beast With witchcraft of his wits, with traiterous gifts-- O wicked wit and gifts that have the power So to seduce--won to his shameful lust The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen. O Hamlet, what a falling off was there From me . . . and to decline Upon a wretch whose natural gifts were poor To those of mine." This language suggests that Gertrude and Claudius were lovers before the murder and indeed it would appear that Claudius committed the murder in part in order to marry Gertrude. Later in the play, Claudius says: "I am still posessed Of those effects for which I did the murder, My crown, mine own ambition, and my Queen."
After the ghost departs whom does Hamlet refer to as O most pernicious woman?
He's talking about his mother.
What events happened act iii of hamlet?
Act 3 is a busy act in Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern make a report to the king, and he and Polonius plan to spy on Hamlet. They place themselves in a hidden space with Ophelia as bait. Hamlet strolls along and makes his "To be or not to be" speech. He sees Ophelia and they have a very peculiar conversation which ends with Hamlet getting angry with her and accusing her of prostituting herself (figuratively). Ophelia thinks he has lost his mind ("O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown") but Claudius draws the opposite conclusion. That's Scene 1. In Scene 2, Hamlet meets up with the players, and after telling them how to do their job, asks Horatio to watch Claudius during the play. The play is then performed with Hamlet being terrifically rude both to the actors and to his fellow audience members. Claudius spots that the play is all to similar to his murder of Hamlet Sr. and demands that it stop. As he exits, Hamlet is exultant: the Ghost has been vindicated! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern show up and tell Hamlet to visit his mother. On the way, Hamlet spots his uncle praying. We hear part of the prayer and know that Claudius is feeling guilt for murdering his brother. Hamlet is about to kill him then hesitates, deciding to wait until Claudius is doing something sinful. Nevertheless he says he could "drink hot blood" and he is now going to give his mother a talking-to. In Scene four, Hamlet arrives at his mother's bedroom and begins chastising her. Polonius, hiding behind a curtain, hears and echoes Gertrude's cries for help. Hamlet, believing his moment to kill Claudius has come at last, kills Polonius thinking that he is the king. He then launches into a long tirade to his weeping mother, and is only stopped by the appearance of the Ghost. Gertrude is persuaded that Claudius is a murderer and agrees to help Hamlet, and Hamlet drags the corpse of Polonius off.

Summarize ophelia's remarks after hamlet leaves her?
Her speech commences "O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!" This summarizes the bulk of the speech, which is that Hamlet used to be admirable but now he's just nuts. To this she adds that it's too bad for her, after sucking "the honey of his music vows" and falling in love with him.

Why is Hamlet the only one suspicious about his father's death?
Hamlet is disposed to believe ill of Claudius. He dislikes him and resents his marriage to his mother. That is why when the Ghost names Claudius as his murderer, Hamlet says "O my prophetic soul!"--he had already suspected as much. Because we hear Claudius admit his guilt (just before the "To Be or Not to Be" speech and in Claudius's "O my offence is rank" soliloquy) we know that the ghost is telling the truth. Otherwise, it might be plausible to believe that Claudius is innocent, as everyone including Gertrude seems to believe.
