How does Shakespeare create tension and interest in the first scene of Hamlet?
Immediately Hamlet is set on the gun platform of Elsinore castle, characterising the tension in Denmark. This night time scene holds more significance to the Elizabethan audience than to the contemporary as the introduction of the Ghost of Old Hamlet ensnares the audience with its supernatural prowess. Certainly the probing question that is the incipit of the play suggests that things are quite right in the State of Denmark and position the audience to feel skewed by what they are witnessing. importantly Hamlet is absent in the first scene, showing that the major characters are only as significant as the minor roles.
When the play begins the death of King Hamlet has already occurred. How does this affect the reader's understanding of the play?
Perhaps it might affect the reader a bit more than the viewer in the audience. The audience get the idea that he's dead very clearly in the first scene when his ghost arrives and scares the pants off of some guards. This possibly may be more difficult to grasp if you are reading, but then the play was not meant to be read.
