In Shakespeare's play "Hamlet," the character who dies in the past, before the events of the play unfold, is King Hamlet, the father of Prince Hamlet. His death, attributed to poisoning by his brother Claudius, sets the stage for the entire plot, as it prompts Hamlet to seek revenge. King Hamlet's ghost appears to Prince Hamlet, urging him to avenge his murder, which drives the action of the play.
