Hamlet meets them, as well as Marcellus, in Act I Scene 2. Claudius has just made a long speech talking, among other things, about how he has married Gertrude. Hamlet has jsut had a long soliloquy in which he complains about the haste in which the wedding has taken place. When he asks Horatio, "What make you from Wittenberg?" Horatio responds "I came to see your father's funeral" and Hamlet replies "Do not mock me, fellow student, I think it was to see my mother's wedding."
What was this event at which Claudius makes a big speech, and Gertrude asks Hamlet to cast his nighted colour off? It might have been the wedding banquet. That is not certain however.

When Horatio meets Hamlet what did Hamlet say about the food?
"Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables." Hamlet says that the reason Claudius and Gertrude got married so soon after King Hamlet's death was to save money, since they could use the leftovers from the funeral for the wedding feast. Hamlet's tongue is firmly in cheek here.

How is Hamlet killed in the play Hamlet?
Hamlet is killed in Act 5, scene 2 when Laertes cuts him with a poisoned blade. Hamlet's Uncle Claudius has convinced Hamlet to duel Laertes and has supplied Laertes with the poisoned blade that kills Hamlet.
What does Hamlet say about human nature in scene 4?
A lot of what happens in Hamlet has to do with death, especially Hamlet's two most famous speeches. The "To be or not to be" speech wonders why, since life is so crappy, people don't just kill themselves all the time like lemmings. The "Alas poor Yorick" speech and Hamlet's ensuing conversation with Horatio ponders the fact that, no matter how vital, funny, important or powerful you are, you still end up as a dirty, stinking bunch of bones. Hamlet also thinks about the "circle of life" when he thinks about worms eating kings, and then that same worm being eaten by a fish which is eaten by a beggar. The phenomenon of worms eating dead bodies also interests him: he says that Polonius is at supper, "not where he eats, but where he is eaten." At the same time, the play talks about our spiritual life after death, especially in the revelation by the Ghost that, yes, there is a Purgatory, and it's pretty miserable, so it does make a difference if a priest gives you the sacrament of Extreme Unction or not. Hamlet's obsession with mortality may be a result of his belief that we should be able to be masters of our fate, even to the extent of mastering death. (This is why he has such a hard time accepting his father's death and his mother's quick recovery from it.) But in the end, after facing the imminent possibility of his death at the hands of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and then at the hands of the pirates, he learns to adopt a more fatalistic approach: "If it be not now, yet it will come . . . the readiness is all." Only when he does so is he able to carry out his revenge.

What events happened act iii of hamlet?
Act 3 is a busy act in Hamlet. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern make a report to the king, and he and Polonius plan to spy on Hamlet. They place themselves in a hidden space with Ophelia as bait. Hamlet strolls along and makes his "To be or not to be" speech. He sees Ophelia and they have a very peculiar conversation which ends with Hamlet getting angry with her and accusing her of prostituting herself (figuratively). Ophelia thinks he has lost his mind ("O what a noble mind is here o'erthrown") but Claudius draws the opposite conclusion. That's Scene 1. In Scene 2, Hamlet meets up with the players, and after telling them how to do their job, asks Horatio to watch Claudius during the play. The play is then performed with Hamlet being terrifically rude both to the actors and to his fellow audience members. Claudius spots that the play is all to similar to his murder of Hamlet Sr. and demands that it stop. As he exits, Hamlet is exultant: the Ghost has been vindicated! Rosencrantz and Guildenstern show up and tell Hamlet to visit his mother. On the way, Hamlet spots his uncle praying. We hear part of the prayer and know that Claudius is feeling guilt for murdering his brother. Hamlet is about to kill him then hesitates, deciding to wait until Claudius is doing something sinful. Nevertheless he says he could "drink hot blood" and he is now going to give his mother a talking-to. In Scene four, Hamlet arrives at his mother's bedroom and begins chastising her. Polonius, hiding behind a curtain, hears and echoes Gertrude's cries for help. Hamlet, believing his moment to kill Claudius has come at last, kills Polonius thinking that he is the king. He then launches into a long tirade to his weeping mother, and is only stopped by the appearance of the Ghost. Gertrude is persuaded that Claudius is a murderer and agrees to help Hamlet, and Hamlet drags the corpse of Polonius off.
