Hamlet

2 parts to this question... To get rid of Hamlet, King Claudius first sends Hamlet to Englan along with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with a letter that requests putting Hamlet to death. This plan fails because Hamlet finds out and switches the letter resulting in the death of its carrier (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). When he comes back.. the King tries to get rid of him by 1. Putting poisin in his drink (but fails and Gertrude ends up drinking it). 2. Poisining Laertes' sowrd so he would kill Hamlet while fighting, and he succeeds. (But of course that happens after Hamlet finds out and kills the King)

He wasn't happy because the murder in the play was so similar to the one he had committed. Whether he is disturbed, or angry, or confused, or frightened depends on the actor and the director.

He tells Horatio to "draw his breath in pain," to tell Hamlet's story.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern - both who end up dead.

Gertrude, Hamlets mother.

They planned to kill prince hamlet with a posioned foil

Hamlet is killed in Act 5, scene 2 when Laertes cuts him with a poisoned blade. Hamlet's Uncle Claudius has convinced Hamlet to duel Laertes and has supplied Laertes with the poisoned blade that kills Hamlet.

They don't. They try to get him to say that what is troubling him is that he wants to be the king, but he doesn't follow through in the way that they hope. In act 2 scene 2 Rosencrantz responds to Hamlet's statement that Denmark is a prison tohim by saying "Why, then, your ambition makes it one." and when Hamlet ends his reply by saying "were it not that I have bad dreams", Guildenstern follows up by saying "Which dreams indeed are ambition . . ."

Possibly Hamlet catches on from this clumsy attempt that Ros and Guil are spies, which he accuses them of soon after.

In any event, in their report to the King and Queen at the beginning of 3,1 they cannot point to any reason for Hamlet's behaviour. Rosencrantz says "He does confess he feels himself distracted, but from what cause he will be no means speak." They tactfully do not tell Claudius that Hamlet sussed them out as spies.

Ophelia appears to obey whenever her brother or father tell her anything. She's annoyed at Laertes's urge toward chastity, since she suspects him of being a hypocrite, but she agrees anyway. She's very meek, up until she goes mad.

We need to know what 'this point' is before we can answer.

King Hamlet isn't. King Hamlet was. In the play Hamlet, King Hamlet was the previous king of Denmark and father to Prince Hamlet after whom the play is named. At the time the play starts. King Hamlet is already dead. However, his ghost makes an appearance in Act 1 Scene 1 and in three scenes thereafter.

He puts a pearl in the wine glass as the fencing match is going on between Laertes and Hamlet. Something along the lines of this is for your health and says so in front of everybody, but Hamlet does not drink it. Queen Gertrude is the one who gets thirsty and drinks during the fencing match. She dies soon after and that really gets Hamlet angry.

Because everyone talks to himself/herself. It's one of the silly habits we do every day like what do I want for dinner today? Chinese noodle or Indian vegetarian meal? It helps to clarify the mind. An interesting scientific research news lately also tells us that talking to ourselves makes us smart. No wonder that Shakespeare gets famous.

Ophelia tells her father polonius that her boyfriend Hamlet has gone insane.

She agrees to her father's charge and will have nothing to do with Hamlet. Polonius has said to her, "I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth, have you slander any moment leisure as to give word or talk with the Lord Hamlet." At this point in the play (Act 1 Scene 3), he has not asked her to spy on Hamlet yet.

The story Shakespeare used was probably used in an older play called Hamlet, which was based on a translation by Belleforest of a medieval chronicle by Saxo Grammaticus, all of which are set in Denmark. Being Prince of Denmark was part of Hamlet's traditional character.

Shakespeare did not choose Hamlet to be from Denmark, any more than you would choose George Washington to be an American. That's how they were.

Claudius and King Hamlet were brothers. Gertrude was married to King Hamlet first, and then she married Claudius.

The ghost of king hamlet tells hamlet that Claudius killed him, then hamlet puts on a play in front of the king and everyone else about how a man kills a king then earns the love of the queen. Claudius jumps up and runs out, therefore the ghost spoke the truth and the murder had been confirmed

Well, he actually tells her what not to do--don't sleep with Claudius any more. "Refrain tonight, and that shall lend a kind of easiness to the next abstinence."

I can't give you a response unless I know what he is supposed to be responding to. "Thanks Rosencrantz and gentle Guildenstern" is a response to what those two guys tell him at the beginning of Act III Scene I for example..

The Ghost sets up the situation for Hamlet. He confirms that Claudius is a murderer and commands Hamlet to kill him. Hamlet is game, but spends a lot of time trying to figure out how to do this properly and safely.

Pretty much all the main characters die aside from Horatio and Fortinbras.
