In Act five, scene one of Hamlet, we hear this conversation between Hamlet and the gravedigger: Hamlet: How long hast thou been a grave-maker? Gravedigger: Of all the days i' the year, I came to't that day our last King Hamlet overcame Fortinbras. Hamlet: How long is that since? Gravedigger: Cannot you tell that? Every fool can tell that: it was the very day young Hamlet was born. Later, the gravedigger says, "I have been sexton here, man and boy, thirty years." The conclusion is that since the gravedigger started work on Hamlet's birthday and he has been working for thirty years, Hamlet must be thirty years old.

Why does Claudius murder Hamlet's father?

It was an accident. He didn't know it was Polonius. He thought it was the King. O.k. in one scene of "Hamlet", when Hamlet approached his Mother, the Queen and argued with her, saying that she's evil and has no love for her previous husband (Hamlet's father, the King) and doesn't like being his Mother. Enraged, she walked away, but Hamlet grabbed her by the wrist and said "Listen to me!". She was so frightened, she called for help. Then Polonius, who was hiding behing a curtain, called "Help!". Then Hamlet, mistaking it for the King's voice, took out his sword and stabbed the curtain, killing Polonius. Claudius...Apexxx

What does Hamlet tell Gertrude to do in act 3?

Good Hamlet cast thy nighted colour off and look like a friend upon Denmark. Do not forever with thy veiled lids seek for thy noble father in the dust. Thou know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity. Which one might paraphrase as: My dear Hamlet, stop wearing these black clothes, and be friendly to the king. You can't spend your whole life with your eyes to the ground remembering your noble father. It happens all the time, what lives must die eventually, passing to eternity.

About what did the character Hamlet procrastinate?

Well, the ghost tells him in Act 1 Scene 5 to "Revenge my most unnatural murder" and Hamlet doesn't do it until Act 5, after about three hours of play. But Hamlet is not really a procrastinator. He really only has one good chance at killing the king and passes on it because he thinks he will get a better chance. When he thinks that better chance has come, he doesn't hesitate: he stabs the man hiding in the curtains, who turns out to be not the king at all. Basically the ball he left alone turned out to be a strike and the one he swung on he should have left alone. Killing a king is not an easy thing to plan out. You need to wait for an opportunity and take it when it comes, or you will be yet another in the long list of failed assassins. If Hamlet had rushed down from the battlements and broken into the place where the king was taking his rouse, waving a sword and attempting to stick it in Claudius in some hypothetical Act 1 Scene 6, the actor playing Hamlet would not have had to worry about learning any lines for the rest of the play. Hamlet would have been dead meat.
