Was Hamlet the character based upon Shakespeare's father?
There is no reason to believe so. The story of Hamlet was well-known long before Shakespeare heard about it, and some of the lines of his character were already drawn. Whether he was inspired to change aspects of that character by someone he knew is anyone's guess.
What does hamlet mean by putting on an antic disposition what do you think he hopes to accomplish?
When Hamlet decides to put on an "antic disposition" he is suggesting that he should act like a madman. In Shakespeare's time antic meant disturbingly or even threateningly bizarre or irrational. By acting crazy, Hamlet hopes to confuse the king and make him uneasy.
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.

What place was hamlet set in?
Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness-from overwhelming grief to seething rage-and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption.

Who wrote Now the very witching time of night?
It was said by Prince Hamlet in Shakespear's play Hamlet.
Did any family members inspire shakespeare?
Probably not. Some people try to connect his son Hamnet with the play Hamlet, but there is no connection. His son was named for a neighbour, and Hamlet in the story was called Hamlet for centuries before Shakespeare was born. The coincidence of names is just that--a coincidence. It can be noted that the period in which Shakespeare moved from writing comedies and the optimistic histories of Henry IV and Henry V to the dark comedies and great tragedies coincides with the time of Shakespeare's father's death, but that might be a coincidence too.

How old was shakespeare when he wrote sonnet 130?
It's impossible to know how old Shakespeare was when he wrote any of the sonnets. All we know is that they were written before they were published in 1609 when he was 45. Two of them, numbers 138 and 144 were published in 1599, ten years earlier. This will give some idea of the period of time Shakespeare wrote them.
By the time Hamlet was written Shakespeare?
had been staged by some of England's best-known actors.
How old was Hamlet when Shakespeare married?
If you mean, "How old was Hamlet, the character in the play, at the time Shakespeare was married?" then your question makes no sense. It's like asking "How old was Donald Duck when Shakespeare was born?" Well, you cannot answer not only because Donald Duck is a fictional character who never ages but also because he was not invented at the time Shakespeare was born. Likewise, if you mean "How old was Shakespeare's play Hamlet at the time Shakespeare was married?", it doesn't make sense because Shakespeare wrote that play after he and Anne were married. The same if by "Hamlet" you mean "Hamnet Shakespeare, William's son" because Hamnet was born in 1585 and his parents were married in 1582. The only way this question could possibly make sense is if you mean "How old was the story of Hamlet when Shakespeare got married in 1582?" Well, the story of Amleth appears in a book called Gesta Danorum (The Acts of the Danes), a kind of Danish history book, written around the year 1200, 382 years before Shakespeare's marriage, give or take a dozen years. Another similar but shorter work called the Chronicon Lethrense was written about thirty years earlier. These books put the events in the Amleth story some time in the 600s AD.
