Whom does hamlet get rid of first in the play?
Hamlet is directly responsible for the deaths of five people and indirectly for another. The first person to die because of Hamlet's actions is Polonius, who Hamlet stabs in the mistaken belief that he is King Claudius. This indirectly causes Ophelia's death. Hamlet then kills, in succession, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Claudius.
In the opening of hamlet whom do the sentries and Horatio see?
The ghost of Hamlet's father, the former king.
Who is the only other character in whom Hamlet has confided knowledge of what the ghost has told him?
Horatio
After the ghost departs whom does Hamlet refer to as O most pernicious woman?
He's talking about his mother.
In hamlet Whom does the ghost exempt from his call for revenge and why?
Gertrude. I suppose he may have told Hamlet not to take revenge on Gertrude because the ghost still has affection for her, or because it would be particularly evil for a son to kill his mother, or because the ghost knows that Gertrude was not privy to Claudius's murder, and the murder is what he wants revenge for. Or some combination of these.
Consider Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's role in the play. Why might Shakespeare have created characters like this?
They're not that similar. Guildenstern admits to Hamlet that they were sent for. Not Rosencrantz. Guildenstern jokes with Hamlet. Rosencrantz doesn't. Hamlet takes Guildenstern aside for the "recorder lesson" after the 'Mousetrap' play. Not Rosencrantz. More could be mentioned. When all the details are observed, they're pretty distinct characters.

Who is not a main character in hamlet?
It's easier to talk about who is related to whom. Hamlet is Gertrude's son and Claudius's nephew and stepson, and of course the son of the Ghost. Polonius is Laertes's father and Ophelia's father. Everyone else is unrelated.

What does Hamlet pick up in the graveyard?
Prince Hamlet realizes that it was a skull of a jester whom Prince Hamlet once knew he was Yorick
Who does not dies the court in hamlet?
As with most Shakespearian tragedies, most of the characters end up dying - Hamlet is no exception.Polonius - mistakenly stabbed by Hamlet when he discovers Polonius spying on a conversation between him and Gertrude.Rosencrantz and Guildenstern - executed in England after delivering what they suppose to be orders from Claudius (Hamlet is in fact supposed to be executed by the English, but after discovering Claudius' plot Hamlet changes his own name on his death warrant to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's)Ophelia - drowned when gathering flowers near a body of water. There is speculation (within and without the play) as to whether or not Ophelia commits suicide after being driven mad by Hamlet's rejection of her and Polonius' death. In the play it states 'Her clothes spread wide/ and mermaid-like awhile they bore her up/ Which time she chanted snatches of old lauds/ As one incapable of her own distress', but it is unknown whether she knew that she was going to drown and didn't care, or if she just did not understand the significance of her situation. Or Gertrude could be intentionally making it look like an accident to spare Laertes's feelings.Gertrude - drinks poisoned wine intended for Hamlet (Claudius poisons the wine). It's not clear whether she knew it was poisoned or not.Claudius - poisoned and also stabbed by Hamlet, after Hamlet is fatally wounded.Laertes - poisoned by his own sword in a duel with Hamlet. Laertes has poisoned the sword to ensure Hamlet's death, but during the duel Laertes drops his sword and it gets switched with Hamlet's.Hamlet - Hamlet is poisoned by the same sword as Laetes, before Laertes drops his sword.So, the final score is:Two possible accidents or possible suicides (Gertrude and Ophelia)One person killed by Laertes (Hamlet)Five people killed by Hamlet (Polonius, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes, Claudius)Nobody killed by Claudius, unless you count King Hamlet who died before the play starts.
