Who is hamlets lover?

Hamlet's lover is Ophelia, a young noblewoman of Denmark. Their relationship is complex and marked by Hamlet's erratic behavior and feigned madness, leading to tragedy for both characters. Ophelia ultimately descends into madness herself following the death of her father, Polonius, and Hamlet's rejection. Her tragic fate serves as a poignant element in the play "Hamlet."


When does laertes return?

He does two important things. The first is to name Claudius as the killer, finally allowing Hamlet to kill him honorably. The second is to make peace with Hamlet and "exchange forgiveness," which in the complex spiritual framework of the play might mean that the two of them get to avoid the hellish fate that King Hamlet suffered and that most of the dead characters presumably get.


Why did Laertes die in Hamlet?

Hamlet stabbed him with the poisoned sword which Laertes had poisoned to kill Hamlet. He was, in Hamlet's phrase, "hoist with his own petard."


Who killed Hamlet's father and how does Hamlet find out?

Hamlet's uncle Claudius killed Hamlet's father (called Hamlet Sr.). The ghost of Hamlet Sr. comes back from the dead and tells Hamlet Jr. so. Hamlet Jr. confirms this by re-enacting the murder as a play, which upsets Uncle Claudius.


What does the ghost in Hamlet symbolize?

if you are asking this for, say, a homework assignment, then I recommend you figure it out on your own, as your teacher could find this easily.The ghost in Shakespeare's Hamlet is Hamlet's father, who is dead. In Hamlet, Hamlet's father is killed by Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet's father's ghost (the ghost) comes back to basically tell Hamlet what happened, and to tell him (more or less) to have revenge on Hamlet's uncle.

What character from Hamlet does rafiki represent?

Rafiki from "The Lion King" represents the character of Hamlet's father, King Hamlet, in terms of wisdom and guidance. While Rafiki is not a direct parallel to any character in "Hamlet," he embodies the role of a mentor, much like the ghost of King Hamlet who urges Prince Hamlet to seek revenge and fulfill his destiny. Rafiki's spiritual insight helps Simba navigate his challenges, akin to how King Hamlet's spirit influences Hamlet's journey.

Why does shakespeare introduce the element of madness in Hamlet?

It was in his source. An essential part of the Hamlet story is that Hamlet feigns madness to keep his profile low while he plots the downfall of his uncle. Thus we hear that Hamlet will "put an antic disposition on" immediately after seeing the ghost. In the sources, Hamlet's assumed lunacy convinces his uncle that he is not a danger, so that he doesn't do Hamlet in. In Shakespeare's story, Claudius is not so easily fooled, and he does try to do Hamlet in, but it is his political sense and his love for Gertrude which keep him from doing it in an obvious way. Hamlet gets lucky and wriggles out of Claudius's trap. There is the additional element of lunacy in poor Ophelia. Her insanity is genuine, but unfortunately nobody believes that she drowned because she was insane, causing her to be buried without Christian rites. It is an irony that Hamlet's fake madness takes so many people in, yet Ophelia's real madness does not.

It does not put down or offend any religon or any practices, and should not be judged for content for its biblical references, rather for the mild blood/gore, and mild language. the UNSC stands for the United Nations Space Command, and has no spiritual element or biblical reference
