The first is the play scene, which the King reveals himself as a murderer. The second is the present scene, in which Hamlet fails to kill Claudius. The third is the killing of Polonius in the next scene.

It's actually an arras that Polonius hides behind.

Both times Polonius hides behind an arras, he does so to eavesdrop on what Hamlet says to somebody else. First, Polonius hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Ophelia, then later, he hides to listen to Hamlet talk to Gertrude.

They both died, though Laertes died first. During the duel, Laertes cuts Hamlet with the sword that has poison on it, but when they accidently drop their swords they got mixed up and got each others sword. Hamlet then cuts Laertes with the sword that has poison on it.

Much of it is very superficial, but most of it boils down to this: "Be cautious." Polonius tells Laertes to keep his thoughts to himself, and not to act on them without consideration, to stick with friends he knows he can trust, avoid unnecessary fighting, to listen to others but (again), to keep his opinions to himself, to neither lend money or borrow it, but live within his means. All of these are different examples of living cautiously and prudently.

He does not have any. When he dies, the royal line in Denmark dies, and a foreigner is brought in to be the king.
If you're working on a crossword puzzle or cryptic puzzle, try "village" since, as noted, Hamlet had no cousins in the usual sense of the word.

Fortinbras son of Fortinbras has sharked up some soldiers in the skirts of Norway to invade Denmark with a view to taking back certain lands which Hamlet father of Hamlet had taken from him. Claudius the King of Denmark is on to him, however, and gets Fortinbras's uncle the king of Norway to stop the invasion. In the meantime, Denmark is ready for the invading army should it arrive.

Because it was so theatrical and overblown. Jumping into her grave, really!

Hamlet tells the audience that he does not want to give Claudius the opportunity to absolve himself of all his sins before he dies. He says that to kill Claudius then would mean that Claudius would die a guiltless death, which is exactly what Hamlet did not want. He wanted to avenge his father by killing Claudius in the same way in which Old Hamlet was killed: unprepared and unforgiven for all of his outstanding sins. This is what Hamlet tells the audience, but it is also probably an example of Hamlet's inability to take action. Hamlet is presented with a perfect opportunity to avenge his father, and he comes up with an excuse as to why it is not the right time. The question is whether or not Hamlet is ready to take his life, not whether or not Claudius is going to have a sinless death.

She went along with her father's plan to cut off all communication with him which was not very nice. She also went along with her father's plan to entice Hamlet into revealing why he is acting oddly, at least in part. This was a betrayal of confidence, and Hamlet was furious about it.

The king and queen want them to cozy up to Hamlet and find out what's troubling him.

He must have had a very loving relationship with his father because only months after his death while everyone in the kingdom was celebrating the marriage of Claudius and Gertrude, Hamlet was wearing all black & still lamenting the death of his father.

that king claudius has placed a bet for hamlet to win the fencing match. "has laid a great wager on your head"

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.

He's witty, introspective, gracious, impulsive, intuitive, friendly, conflicted, violent, tolerant, forgiving, charismatic, handsome, fashionable, and an excellent swordsman. All of characteristics could be illustrated with quotations from the text.

That's the way the story goes. The Hamlet story was well-known before Shakespeare got hold of it, and it was a great one as an example of revenge tragedy, which generally end up with a pile of bleeding corpses at the end (compare Kyd's Spanish Tragedy and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus). Of course, Shakespeare wrote only those two revenge tragedies, and on the other hand wrote piles of comedies: eighteen of his thirty-eight plays, or nearly half, were comedies and ended with a bunch of people getting married as opposed to dying.

"Thou hast been as one in suffering all, that suffers nothing, A man that Fortune's buffets and rewards hast taken with equal thanks . . . Give me that man who is not passion's slave, and I will wear him in my heart's core, ay, in my heart of heart, as I do thee."

Hamlet's father was also named Hamlet. Throughout the play they may refer to them as "Old Hamlet" and "Young Hamlet," or, in the father's case "Denmark" as a reference to his royalty and the country he ruled.

In Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Macbeth starts out as behind noble and practical but during the middle of the play he meets the weird sisters and they claim that Macbeth will be the Thane of cawdoor and king. due to this Macbeth's character takes a devilish twist and he turns into a brutal and unforgiving man who is crazy with the thought of power and will do every thing he possibly can to make it happen as quick as possible even killing his own king in his own home. So a summary is that he goes from Mr nice guy to a Deceiving and murderous beast.

Laertes thinks that his family is too insignificant to be involved in a royal marriage. He therefore thinks that Ophelia can never marry Hamlet. He is wrong; the Queen says that she hoped Ophelia would be Hamlet's wife.

Nothing really, He is a servant of brutus

Hamlet sees his father's ghost in the play telling him he was murdered and the ghost returns several times in the play. Shakespeare liked to use the supernatural in his plays with ghosts, witches, and other beings. Many times these characters foreshadow events or set events into action.

Nobody knows for sure, since the only documented facts are the dates when it was published. The current scholarly consensus is that it was probably written, more or less as we now have it, in the time period from 1603.
