Sure. Attend any production of the play or rent or borrow any recorded performance or movie. It's the last scene in the play--nobody is going to cut it.

What Famous play begins with who's there?
Hamlet. See http://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?WorkID=hamlet&Act=1&Scene=1&Scope=scene
In Hamlet what does Polonius want to do before they send Hamlet away?
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
What is the message that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern carry out to the King of England?
If the King you are talking about is the King of England: He has them killed because Hamlet changes the message. Nice friends, eh? However, in Hamlet, "the King" means Claudius, not the king of England. R+G bring him several messages. At the beginning of Act 3 Scene 1 they tell the king that although they cannot find out what is bothering Hamlet they were able to ascertain that he was excited about the arrival of the players. The king replies that they should encourage him in this interest. In Act 4 Scene 3 they bring the message that they could not get Hamlet to tell where Polonius's body was hidden but that he was captured and standing outside. Claudius orders Hamlet to be brought before him.
In scene 2 what does Polonius tell Claudius and Gertrude is the cause of Hamlet's madness?
Hamlet is love-sick with Ophelia and is mad since he isn't able to see her anymore.
Why has Shakespeare made the choice for the Ghost to be seen and heard only by Hamlet?
He did not. The ghost is only heard by Hamlet but Bernardo, Marcellus and Horatio see it. This is a clue to us that the ghost is not just a figment of Hamlet's imagination. Gertrude, however, cannot see or hear the ghost even when it is present in the same room. This suggests that the ghost can appear to anyone if that suits its purpose; it is important to be seen by the guards so they will bring it to Hamlet's attention, but also important that he not be seen to be involved by his widow. But the real reason, as ever in a Shakespeare play, is dramatic. The scenes where the ghost appears to the guards is a dramatic scene good for opening the play, and the fact that they have seen the ghost allows for a number of wonderful scenes: Horatio's description of the ghost in 1,2, the attempts by Horatio to hold Hamlet back in 1,3, and Hamlet's insistence that they swear an oath of secrecy. All of this would be lost if the Ghost was visible only to Hamlet. But in Act 3, the scene is between Hamlet and Gertrude, and the ghost is a minor distraction. Having him appear to Gertrude would necessitate some kind of confrontation between them, and the scene would become one between Gertrude and the Ghost and Hamlet would be superfluous. Since such a scene is not necessary to the plot (Hamlet will convince Gertrude of Claudius's guilt without the help of the ghost), Shakespeare wisely avoided it.

Who saw the ghost first hamlet or Horatio?
Horatio, in Act 1 scene 1. Hamlet doesn't see it until scene 4. It has to be this way because in scene 2 Horatio tells Hamlet that he has seen the Ghost.
What does Polonius suggest after Hamlet and Ophelia see one another in act two scene two?
In Act 3 scene 1 of Hamlet (the "nunnery" scene), Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia. Well, it's sort of eavesdropping since Ophelia knows they are there and if Hamlet does not know at the beginning of the conversation, he figures it out pretty quickly.
Was hamlet taken prisoner by pirates then brought to Denmark?
Yes, he was. See Act 4 Scene 6 for details.
In Hamlet what does Polonius want to do before they send Hamlet away?
Polonius is interested in seeing whether spying on Hamlet's conversation with Gertrude will justify his theory that Hamlet is mad for love. (see the end of Act 3 Scene 1)
Who is Bernado in Hamlet?
He's a guard, watching the battlements of Elsinore castle to see if the Norwegians are going to invade. He is one of the guards who sees the ghost of King Hamlet in Act 1 Scene 1.
What have the watchmen seen just before the following excerpt from Act you scene you of Hamlet?
The curtain went up, or the house lights went down. Anyway, something happened to tell the audience that the play had started. And of course Francisco has to be seen by Bernardo before Bernardo can say the opening line of the play.
Who brought hamlet back to Denmark?
As far as we see, this is Horatio. He receives letters directly from the sailors who brought Hamlet back (probably the same pirates who captured him, in fact!) while Claudius and Gertrude get theirs through a relay of messengers. The relevant scene is Act 4, Scene 6.
What did the Wardrobe represent in Hamlet?
What is meant by the Wardrobe? The closet scene (Act 3 Scene 4) where we see Hamlet and his mother Queen Gertrude together alone for the first time? In this scene Hamlet releases his anger and frustration at his mother for the sinful deed she has committed i.e. her marriage to her brother-in-law and the murderer. We can see that Gertrude is unaware of her husband's murder when she says `As kill a King?' and it is the first time she confronts her own behavior. There is a conflict between the two; Hamlet gives powerful replies. All this remains private between the two of them.
What about hamlet has convinced ophelia that he is crazy?
He speaks to the ghost of his father, which she cannot see.
Why does the Queen fail to see the ghost in the closet scene?
The Ghost may have been real but had only intended to show himself to Hamlet, as his message of revenge was for Hamlet only. In Act One he appeared to others but only spoke to Hamlet. Another interpretation is that the Ghost (at least in the Closet Scene) is not real, but only a product of Hamlet's mind. Similar issues arise around another Shakespearean ghost, the ghost of Banquo in Macbeth, who can only be seen by Macbeth.
What decree does the prince make in act 3 scene 1?
In Act 3, Scene 1 of Hamlet, the prince forbids Ophelia from having any contact with him, as he is pretending to be mad. He instructs her to go to a nunnery to preserve her innocence and avoid the corruption of the world.
