There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?
The last lines of Hamlet are spoken by Fortinbras.
Go, bid the soldiers shoot.
Is the closing line of the play.
the last person to speak was HAMLETS friend HORATIO.. the words where "GOOD NIGHT, SWEET PRINCE".
Prince Fortinbras
Hamlet
Hamlet
Fortinbras.
Hamlet is the last person to actually die in the play. However, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the last people to have been mentioned dead--by Fortinbras I believe.
No. Most of the characters in the play have speaking parts, although there are Lords, guardsmen and others mentioned in the stage directions who do not speak. However, as part of the play-within-a-play, Shakespeare wrote a prologue to the play called a "dumb-show" which is in fact a "silent play"--the actors do not speak. So in that sense a part of Hamlet is indeed a silent play.
Horatio is the only person who stays true to Hamlet through the entirety of the play. He always remains Hamlet's true friend throughout the story.
It parallels the events of the play since it was also about a murder of a King from a trusted person. This is like Old Hamlet's murder, which was a backstabbing by Claudius, Old Hamlet's brother.
Hamlet's father dies (was murdered) before the play begins so in the first act first scene he appears as a ghost. The ghost appears on the battlements of the castles and is first seen by the sentries up there. It is these men that inform Hamlet of the appearance of his father's ghost.

In the exposition of Act 1 Scene 5 in Hamlet, two characters speak: the ghost of King Hamlet and Prince Hamlet. The ghost reveals the circumstances of his death to Hamlet, setting the tone for the rest of the play.
The fifth. That's also the last. The end of the play is when massive death occurs.
She's the same person she is in the other four acts of the play--Hamlet's mother.

Hamlet is not a real person, he's a character in a play, based on a legendary character. Since it doesn't specify in the play what year it was, it could be any year. Any time you go to see the play, Hamlet dies in the year you are watching it.
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.

the play is called Hamlet and was writing by William Shakespeare.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet
Hamlet is a fictitious character. He was not really born and did not really die. Unless it says something in the text of the play about it, and it doesn't, there can be no answer to this question.
The famous person who created the allusion "To be or not to be, that is the question" is William Shakespeare. This line comes from his play, Hamlet, where the protagonist, Hamlet, contemplates the meaning of life and death.
