Basicly, the story starts with Hamlet in greiving for his dead dad, yet everyone else is happy cause his mum just married his unkle that is now king. Hamlet dad`s ghost comes back and tells Hamlet, his unkle posined him to become king. Hamlet is unsure so he pertends to be mad to discover the truth about his fathers death, Hamlet also has actors perform a play were someone gets murdered in the same way the ghost said he died. During the play Hamlets unkle runs out this proves his guilt. So Hamlet wants to kill him. First he goes to his mother basicly saying "how could you marry him? did you know?" then there is a russelling behind the curtain Hamlet stabs it convinced its his Unkle but he just killed his girlfriends dad, his Unkle says that Hamlet has gone mad and sends him away. On Hamlets way he is saved and comes back to find that his girlfriend in depression for her dad killed herself. Her brother is angrey orders Hamlet to a fenching match to the death. Hamlets unkle convinces Hamlets girlfriend`s brother to possin the tip of the sword and to possin Hamlets drink. When the fencing match is going on Hamlets mum accidently drank from Hamlet`s cup, the fighters switch swords and both Hamlet and his oponat are posined with battle cuts, and in Hamlets last breath he kill his unkle. Hamlet dies in his best friends arms.


How does Hamlet's soliloquy differ from Shakespeare's?

I don't think you understand something very basic about writers. They are not necessarily characters in the works they write. We do not worry about whether Edward loves Bella or Stephanie Meyer. We do not ask whether Obi Wan Kenobi speaks better than George Lucas. And Shakespeare does not have soliloquys, although he writes them for his characters like Hamlet. Shakespeare is not a character in any play he wrote (although he is sometimes a character in other peoples' plays, as he is in Shakespeare in Love). In any case, "Hamlet's soliloquy" is meaningless. Hamlet has five soliloquys: "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching time of night" and "How all occasions do inform against me." Unless you specify which one you are talking about, nobody can answer your question.


Hamlet's tragic flaw is?

He causes the death of every character in the play including himself. He mentally abuses Ophelia, by telling her he doesn't love her, then behaving sexually forward towards her. This begins Ophelia's madness. Hamlet then kills Polonius, a villainous act in itself, however he then carries on in the scene to ignore the dead body and continues to speak with his mother, finally dragging the body out of the room, hiding it, and then speaking in riddles when asked about the where abouts of the body. (The body is under the stairs(weird enough)) The murder of Polonius tips Ophelia over the edge and she kills herself. Her death would not have happened had Hamlet not mentally abused her then killed her father. He then kills Polonius' son, Laertes in a fight, during the fight his Mother, possibly knowning what was in the drink, and saving her son, drinks a poisoned drink meant for Hamlet. Hamlet then stabs Claudius, the only person which he aimed to kill at the start. However he is hurt from the fight and dies himself. Therefore he is a villain because causes all of the deaths, which is clearly not a characteristic of a tragic hero. The above is an excellent example of how blame for anything can be attached to anyone. Claudius, intending to kill Hamlet, poisons a drink which Gertrude intentionally or unintentionally drinks and dies; Hamlet is to blame for this. That is why it is a pointless endeavor to try to blame people in literary analyses. What distinguishes a villain from a hero is more probably motivation. Richard III is clearly a villain because he tells us in numerous soliloquys that he is killing people so he will be a king. Macbeth is a villain because whether the Scottish people know it or not, the audience knows that he has murdered a lot of people either to become king or to make himself safe.What are Hamlet's motivations? He kills Claudius to revenge his father's death, Polonius by accident, thinking he was Claudius, and Laertes in self-defence. The question of whether revenge is a moral or immoral activity was explored by Shakespeare in his early revenge play Titus Andronicus. In that play revenge only leads to more and greater revenges until everyone is dead. In Hamlet the issue is much more ambiguous. Indeed the play is so ambiguous in so many different ways that it would be possible to stage it playing Hamlet as a bloodthirsty young man who has formed an inordinate dislike for his uncle, and who is only held back from killing him right off by his own cowardice and his desire that his revenge should be as complete as possible.


What does hamlet basicly say in his soliloquy Act 2?

You're thinking of his soliloquy "How all occasions do inform against me" in act 4. In the soliloquy he ponders the behaviour of Fortinbras and his army and asks himself why he is still twiddling his thumbs. It contains the line which might well sum up the entire play, "I do not know why yet I live to say 'This thing's to do' sith have cause and will and strength and means to do't."
