Hamlet

The revenge tragedy was created in the time of Shakespeare, at that time most people liked tragedies or revenge plays, somebody combined them to attract audiences to a new type of play.

polonius is old and claudius is young and handsome. c is king and p is advisor.

Polonius tells his son several pieces of advice. He advises him to keep his thoughts to himself, to be friendly without being common or inappropriate in his actions, and have a few close friends, but keep a respectful distance from acquaintances. He tells him to be a good listener, but don't talk too much. Laertes should purchase nice clothing but nothing too gaudy that will outshine his peers. He should not borrow or lend money. He finally tells Laertes to be true to himself and this will be reflected in his authenticity with his fellow man.

Yes, in Act II, Scene II, but it is not original to Hamlet - one of the 'church fathers,' Clement of Alexandria, writing around 200AD on the subject of plagiarism, writes this:

Theopompus [c. 350BC] having written:-"Twice children are old men in very truth; " And before him Sophocles [c. 450BC] in Peleus:- "Peleus, the son of Aeacus, I, sole housekeeper, Guide, old as he is now, and train again, For the aged man is once again a child,"- Antipho the orator [c. 430BC] says, "For the nursing of the old is like the nursing of children." Also the philosopher Plato [c. 400BC] says, "The old man then, as seems, will be twice a child.

(from the Stromata, or Miscellanies, Book VI, Chapter II)

It is also quoted in the Jewish Midrash "Genesis Rabbah" (pg. 62) which would be dated somewhere around 500AD; it appears to be a reference to Lot, as it's referring to his descendants, the Ammonites and Moabites, but is contained in a larger section of commentary on Gen. 14.

What we see of Yorick in the play is his skull, wearing no hat at all. Yorick died long before the events in the play Hamlet. But when he was alive he was "the king's jester" and so might have worn a jester's hat back then.

It's hard to say, since we never see Hamlet at this time, but it is plausible that he never liked Claudius and the marriage only makes it worse.

yes

Hamlet is clearly based in a Christian milieu. It is not in any way hostile to Christian people, and so is not "anti-Christian". The theology which underlies it may not agree with the theology adopted by your particular sect of Christianity, but only a rabid fanatic would describe the theology of a different sect of Christianity as "anti-Christian". In a couple of respects, the theology appears to be Catholic: Hamlet's father appears to be in purgatory, which is a Catholic doctrine. Also, Catholic doctrine forbids the burying of suspected suicides (like Ophelia) with the full rights of the church or indeed at all. But on the other hand, Hamlet believes that by praying Claudius will cleanse his soul so that he can go to heaven; that is, his sins can be remitted without the assistance of a priest. This is a Protestant Christian idea and not Catholic at all.
But leaving aside questions of what brand of Christianity is being practised in the play, there can be no doubt that, from the first scene where Marcellus talks about the season "wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated" to the last scene where Horatio prays that "flights of angels" will sing Hamlet to his rest, the play is unequivocally Christian in character.

Shakespeare did have a son, but his name was Hamnet. He died when he was eleven years old from unknown causes. Some scholars believe that this incident in his life is what inspired him to write his masterpiece, Hamlet. This seems unlikely since he did not write the play until four years later, after writing most of his great comedies.

No. There is nothing like that in the play.

1. The death of Polonius

2. Hamlet's madness and exile

3. Popular unrest

4. Ophelia's madness

5. Laertes' return from France and attempt to take over the kingdom.

Ophelia

That's the implication. We're in a pseudo-Catholic universe, so it might be more precise to say that he spends his days in Purgatory, a place intermediate between Heaven and Hell (but pretty hellish), and his nights as a ghost. He's not allowed to talk about it. He might just disappear after he's done giving penance, but more likely he's going to Heaven.

At the play The Mousetrap Ophelia says it is "twice two months" since the senior Hamlet died. After that there is time for Hamlet to leave, for Laertes to hear in France that his father has died, and to return to Denmark, reconcile with Claudius, hear that Hamlet is returned, plan a fencing match and put it into motion: at least a couple of weeks more. It is about four-and-a-half months later.

In Act 3, Scene 2 Hamlet says: "the purpose of playing...to hold as 'twere the mirror up to nature; to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure." (Lines 17-20)

Hamlet's goal is to avenge his father's murder, by proving his uncle, his new king, and step father as a killer.

Whether Hamlet runs around the throne room is a matter for the director to decide. There are no stage directions or lines which require him to do so. It can be a good call. When Keanu Reeves played Hamlet (yes, I was there), you only noticed him when he was running around like a maniac; at all other times everything and everybody else on stage became much more interesting than Hamlet. In that particular case, running around did make him seem more insane.

He is saying that all of the married people will live . . . except one. And the one married person who he does not expect to live is, of course, Claudius.

Its a great play.

Yes he tells his mother in act three scene four that he really is not mad "My pulse as yours doth temperately keep time,/ And makes as healthful music. It is not madness/ That I have uttered. Bring me to the test,/ And I the matter will re-word, which madness/ Would gambol from."

hamlet is upset with his mother because she remarried only 2 months after his father's death.
