What is the last favor Hamlet asks horatio?

Hamlet asks Horatio to, "tell my story"


What are Hamlets last words before he dies?

O good Horatio, what a wounded name,Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me!If thou didst ever hold me in thy heartAbsent thee from felicity awhile,And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain,To tell my story. . .O, I die, Horatio;The potent poison quite o'er-crows my spirit:I cannot live to hear the news from England;But I do prophesy the election lightsOn Fortinbras: he has my dying voice;So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,Which have solicited. The rest is silence. - Hamlet

What do Voltimand and Cornelius return to tell the king?

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.)

What is an accurate paraphrase of Hamlet's last three lines?

Hamlet's last few lines are "But I do prophesy the election lights on Fortinbras. He has my dying voice. So tell him, with the occurents, more or less, which have solicited. The rest is silence." This means something like, "I think Fortinbras will be elected king. He's got my vote. Tell him so, and tell him why. I can't talk any more."
