These are subjective matters. However, to answer your first question, it is agreed upon by many scholars that Hamlet's primary struggle in the play is with hubris, not failure to take action as many readers had once postulated. This struggle first rears its head in Act 3 Scene 3, where Hamlet decides that he will not kill Claudius at that moment so as to prevent him from going to heaven. This struggle ends with Hamlet's conversation with Horatio previous to his fatal fencing match with Laertes, where he states that "If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all. " Signifying his acceptance of God's will. It is this very decision (to fence Laertes) that brings about divine justice of all players and restores order in Denmark. The lesson, therefore, is the acceptance of God's will.

Hamlet's strength was his intelligence and his passion. Ironically his weakness is shown to be the same.

The beginning plot of Hamlet ended in the last scene of Act 5.

He calls Rosencrantz and Guildenstern ( his good friends) to spy on Hamlet

1596

He's talking about his mother.

He doesnt have a tragic flaw. Read aristotles view of tragedy in "Aristotles poetics" and you can see that there is no such thing as a tragic flaw. It is a simple miss-judgment of the character in which he can change, but may choose not too.

could be a Hamlet or a Village

some vicious mole...

He doesn't do it that often, but when he does, say, to bring the news that "The ambassadors from Norway, my good lord, are joyfully returned." he gets praised as "the father of good news". He doesn't get that warm a welcome when he comes to tell Hamlet that the actors are come hither; all Hamlet says is "Buz, buz." However much Hamlet may want to sneer at him, however, Polonius does indeed bring the news effectively.

Why does it take Hamlet so long to take his revenge?

Elsinore, Denmark.

Well, Hamlet's male, so the fact that he's wearing a dress at all might be some cause for concern.

Actually, "dress" in this case just means "clothing", and what bugs them about it is that Hamlet's wearing black, the color of mourning. Which really is fair enough, because his father died, but his mother (Gertrude) has since remarried (to Claudius, Hamlet's father's brother); the two of them want people to focus on the new king (Claudius) and forget about the dead one (Hamlet's dad), and Hamlet is dressed all in black moping about, serving as a reminder.

In the Second Quarto publication of 'Hamlet' the Ghost calls it "Hebona." In the First Folio publication it's spelled "Hebenon."

It isn't certain which word Shakespeare wrote, but the Second Quarto was published when he was still alive, and "Hebona" sounds better in the poetic dialogue.

France. He gets his permission and goes there.

Yes, he does this in Act 2 Scene 2.

The ghost of Hamlet's father, the former king.

The Inciting Incident is when the Ghost makes Hamlet swear to get revenge on Claudius for murdering him.

In Hamlet, when Gertrude mentions that Hamlet is bending his eye on vacancy, she means that he is staring at things that aren't there.

The lines from the play are as follows:

That you do bend your eye on vacancy

And with th' incorporal air do hold discourse?

So, he is seeing and talking to nothing (although we know he sees a ghost)... basically, she thinks he is hallucinating.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's deaths were particularly ironic, because they, the betrayers, were betrayed instead. The duo tried to betray their childhood friend, Hamlet, thinking that it would be an easy feat. However, unbeknownst to them, Hamlet had already come up with a plan, rewriting the letter so that they would be killed in his place while he escaped. Thus, they that were willing to sacrifice their friend, were sacrificed in his place. Ironic indeed.

Due to technological advancements the definition of entertainment has changed from watching plays to watching a football or baseball game.

King Hamlet's ghost informs his son that his brother, Prince Hamlet's uncle Claudius (now king) murdered King Hamlet in his sleep, and stole the throne and his wife, Queen Gertrude, from him. his is the main reason why Prince Hamlet wants revenge on Claudus- for the throne, which was supposed to go to him, and mostly to avenge his father's dath.

Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex might explain Hamlet's behavior.
