Probably to give poor old Dick Burbage a break. Hamlet is an extraordinarily demanding role for any actor; he needs a breather before the physically and emotionally demanding last act.

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.

Was king Hamlet killed while he was sleeping?

The ghost says that he is stuck in purgatory because he did not have a chance to confess before he died. It would have been less cruel to have killed him as he stepped out of the confessional, but give Claudius some credit here--he's not going to kill Hamlet in such a way that Claudius was going to get caught. Claudius might have chosen a less nasty poison, one supposes. That would have been less cruel.

Who said a little more kin and less than kind?

''A little more than kin, and less than kind" is Prince Hamlet's assessment of his relationship to the new king of Denmark, his uncle Claudius.


A little more than kin and less than kind?

Hamlet's first line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is said in response to Claudius's line "And now my cousin Hamlet, and our son . . ." Hamlet is both nephew and stepson to Claudius, which is more kinship than is usual. "Less than kind" might mean that Claudius is not a kind person, with the sound pun on the words "kin" and "kind" The line might also mean that Hamlet is kin to Claudius (indeed, more than kin), but he is not of Claudius's kind--they are unlike.


When was Hamlet as written by Shakespeare and not significantly adapted performed on the British stage?

More or less continuously between 1601 and the present day. Hamlet has always undergone certain variations in performance, even in Shakespeare's day, which is why there are three significantly different versions of the same play. Directors have been obliged to follow one text or another, or blend the several texts, and in some cases to trim the text to make the running time more reasonable. But compared to Shakespeare's other plays, Hamlet was not performed in a significantly adapted version until the twentieth century. In this respect it differs from King Lear, which was significantly adapted early on by adding new characters, changing the relationship between them and changing the ending from a sad ending to a much less sad ending.

Hamlet: Farewell, dear mother. Claudius: Thy loving father, Hamlet Hamlet: My mother--father and mother is man and wife, man and wife is one flesh, and so, my mother. In some productions, he kisses Claudius on the lips at this point, just like freaking Bugs Bunny. Now that's contempt.
