It's actually pretty hard to tell. We always seem to see him through Hamlet's eyes, and Hamlet's view of him is twisted because he idolized his father (he is constantly comparing him to one of the gods) and hates his uncle and is always comparing them. We know that the real King Hamlet was a fearsome warrior because of what he did to Old Fortinbras, and how he "smote the sledded Polacks on the ice." He seems to have been an angry, quarrelsome, and stern old geezer, and not at all pleasant. Small wonder Gertrude felt her affection shifting to his brother.
Claudius was the brother of old King Hamlet (father of Prince Hamlet the hero of the play). When King Hamlet died, Claudius became king and married his widow Gertrude (Prince Hamlet's mother). Hamlet felt that it was too soon after his father's death for them to marry and also there used the idea that your husband or wife siblings were your siblings so to marry them was a kind of incest. So Hamlet wasn't very keen on his uncle to begin with - then he saw his father's ghost and found that Claudius had murdered his father. Read the play or at least see the film - the one with Mel Gibson isn't bad. Or read the prose version in Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. It is worth studying properly.
A copepod,I suppose.
It is man vs. self.
Horatio received a letter from Hamlet that was unexpected because it revealed that Hamlet was alive after being presumed dead. The letter detailed Hamlet's return to Denmark and his experiences during his time away. It also contained requests for Horatio to meet him and indicated that significant events were about to unfold. This correspondence signified a pivotal moment in the story, signaling Hamlet's intentions and the unfolding of the plot.
Hamlet is under a lot of pressure to hide his emotions and put on an act for people. Ophelia pushes his buttons in such a way that he explodes and all of that emotion is set loose, causing him to speak to her in a vulgar manner. This scene was put in the play to show how well Hamlet can hide his true feelings, but also illustrate that it is a matter of time until he snaps.
Hamlet's first line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is said in response to Claudius's line "And now my cousin Hamlet, and our son . . ." Hamlet is both nephew and stepson to Claudius, which is more kinship than is usual. "Less than kind" might mean that Claudius is not a kind person, with the sound pun on the words "kin" and "kind" The line might also mean that Hamlet is kin to Claudius (indeed, more than kin), but he is not of Claudius's kind--they are unlike.
Interviewers are not suppose to ask you depending on the kind of job you are applying for when is the last time you have been on your cycle, or touch you inappropriatly or constanty talk about your looks.
In the room where they were having the contest between Hamlet and Laertes. Just what kind of room that is depends on the production.
There is no such thing as a short story called Hamlet. There is a play by this name, but plays are not the same thing as short stories.
well it could just be late and your pmsing

As far as we know. He kind of disappears after act 1.
budgie i suppose
It's no kind of novel, it's a play. Plays in published form are called closet dramas.
Please rephrase this question. As it stands it sounds like Claudius took a cab downtown to Ernie's Pawnshop to get a loan on a map owned by Hamlet. What other kind of plan did Hamlet have? Hamlet is famous for not making plans, of not thinking out any practical scheme to accomplish his revenge.
''A little more than kin, and less than kind" is Prince Hamlet's assessment of his relationship to the new king of Denmark, his uncle Claudius.
