This correspondence signified a pivotal moment in the story, signaling Hamlet's intentions and the unfolding of the plot.

Why does hamlet speak to horatio in the manner he does?
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.
Who is hamlet's confidante and the narrator of the play?
There is no 'narrator of the play". In some plays we see actors doing the actions while a narrator tells us what is going on. Our Town, for example, or anything written for Grade Two students. Hamlet is not that kind of play. Hamlet does have a special friend in Horatio, in who he confides, which makes him a confidant (unless he is being played as a woman, in which case she would be a confidante) and who he asks, as he dies, to "tell my story". Horatio asks Fortinbras to "let me speak to the yet unknowing world how these things came about" and Fortinbras says "Let us haste to hear it", but the play ends before Horatio narrates anything, mostly because we have seen everything which has happened and it would be boring to hear it all again. (That didn't stop Shakespeare in plays like Cymbeline or Twelfth Night, however.)
Hamlet's delay in avenging his father's death is an example of what kind of conflict?
It is man vs. self.
What does Hamlet imply he may decide to do?
"Versus" means against. Your question (which is not a question or sentence of any kind) suggests that possibly Hamlet was fighting against his inability to decide. If he could decide to fight against it, it looks like he was able to decide after all.
What do laertes and claudius do to manipulate the outcome of the duel?
In a sense, they do not care about the outcome of the duel. The duel is a smokescreen to give Laertes an opportunity to be within arm's length of Hamlet with a pointy poisoned sword, and with some kind of excuse when Hamlet is killed as a result. Hamlet was, in fact, winning the duel and would have won the bet for Claudius, but that doesn't matter.
Why does horatio think the ghost will speak with Hamlet?
Marcellus thinks that Horatio may know how to speak to a ghost because he is a University Man. I guess Marcellus assumes that's the kind of thing you learn at a University.

Why has Shakespeare made the choice for the Ghost to be seen and heard only by Hamlet?
He did not. The ghost is only heard by Hamlet but Bernardo, Marcellus and Horatio see it. This is a clue to us that the ghost is not just a figment of Hamlet's imagination. Gertrude, however, cannot see or hear the ghost even when it is present in the same room. This suggests that the ghost can appear to anyone if that suits its purpose; it is important to be seen by the guards so they will bring it to Hamlet's attention, but also important that he not be seen to be involved by his widow. But the real reason, as ever in a Shakespeare play, is dramatic. The scenes where the ghost appears to the guards is a dramatic scene good for opening the play, and the fact that they have seen the ghost allows for a number of wonderful scenes: Horatio's description of the ghost in 1,2, the attempts by Horatio to hold Hamlet back in 1,3, and Hamlet's insistence that they swear an oath of secrecy. All of this would be lost if the Ghost was visible only to Hamlet. But in Act 3, the scene is between Hamlet and Gertrude, and the ghost is a minor distraction. Having him appear to Gertrude would necessitate some kind of confrontation between them, and the scene would become one between Gertrude and the Ghost and Hamlet would be superfluous. Since such a scene is not necessary to the plot (Hamlet will convince Gertrude of Claudius's guilt without the help of the ghost), Shakespeare wisely avoided it.
A little more than kin and less than kind?
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.
Where was it that Hamlet killed claudius?
In the room where they were having the contest between Hamlet and Laertes. Just what kind of room that is depends on the production.

What kind of novel is hamlet?

What is used by the king to pawn Hamlet's plan?
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.
Who said a little more kin and less than kind?
