Hamlet

He'd like everyone to forget all about King Hamlet. That way, nobody will wonder whether he died of a snakebite as was reported or not. The less people think about King Hamlet, the safer Claudius is. But Hamlet keeps on bringing it up.

Laertes is, in a way, doubly Hamlet's foil since he not only kills Hamlet (can't get more foil-ish than that!), but he does so with a foil - a fencing sword - pun intended or not.

If you don't know what the word "no" means, then you must not be an English speaker. Am I kidding? No.

It's after midnight and it's cold out, but the King is still partying, firing off cannons and having trumpets play when he drinks. This is customary, which is probably why he is doing it, but Hamlet does not approve, probably because it is Claudius doing it. Nothing Claudius does is likely to look good to Hamlet. Hamlet also expresses the idea that people seek out the worst in others and condemn them on that basis. Some people have seen this as an endorsement of the "tragic flaw" theory, but this only proves that they are failing to listen, read or, most likely, think clearly.

Probably to give poor old Dick Burbage a break. Hamlet is an extraordinarily demanding role for any actor; he needs a breather before the physically and emotionally demanding last act.

Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude, Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes.

The first speaker is bernardo

The character of Hamlet's girlfriend who goes crazy is called Ophelia. It's Greek for help.

Since you have added this question to the William Shakespeare catedgory, you won't be surprised to find that these three plays were all written by William Shakespeare, the most famous playwright ever.

This could describe either Polonius or Claudius.

The word "daggers," or "dagger," appears four times in the Second Quarto printing. It appears three times in the First Folio verson. The difference is not in the dialogue, but in a stage direction in the last scene.

Laertes stabs him with a poisoned sword. As for the official version of his death, Fortinbras, who looks poised to succeed Claudius as king, knows the true story and has no particular reason to cover it up. He does say "Let four captains bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage," but he is just giving Hamlet an honourable funeral, which he is of course entitled to.

Hamlet tells Ophelia to get to a nunnery. However, "nunnery" not only meant convent but was also slang for whorehouse. It's a matter of interpretation every time he says it which one he means, or whether he might mean both.

Some folks have speculated that Gertrude is the type of woman who will quickly gravitate to the most powerful man around. When Hamlet Sr. died, the most powerful person was Claudius so she gravitated to him.

Others might say that things were pretty far advanced between Claudius and Gertrude before the murder and so it was a short step from there to marriage. Claudius says, "I am still possessed of those effects for which I did the murder: my crown, my own ambition, and my queen." Being able to marry Gertrude was clearly part of his motive for the murder so he must have known beforehand that he would get somewhere with her.

The consequences of Hamlet killing Polonius is that he planted the seeds of discord between the supporters.

Copenhagen

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Laertes jumps into Ophelia's grave and starts mourning over how much he misses her. Hamlet, not to be out done, jumps into the grave and starts weaping as well; eventually getting in to a fight with Laertes.

Who says Hamlet is 17? The gravedigger says (V,i, 150) that he started work as a gravedigger "the very day young Hamlet was born", and later (V,i, 164) "I have been sexton here, man and boy, thirty years". Which means of course that Hamlet is 30.

Fortinbras Senior.

Certainly not. They were not even in Elsinore until well after Hamlet was visited by the Ghost. Then they were "sent for" by Claudius to find out what was up with Hamlet.

Horatio has seen the Ghost.

Hamlet: "Man delights not me--no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so."

If he hasn't done anything to you to evoke that kind of response, yes, it's not only wrong but a little nuts. Maybe you should talk to a counselor. No matter what another human does to you it's against not only the law to murder that person, but what divides us as good human beings from becoming like those that chose to harm, maim, rape, sexually abuse, murder, etc. If you are sexually abused or beaten there is help out there for you. If your stepfather disgusts you for reasons of your own such as making you take responsibility, coming home in good time, telling you what friends aren't great to hang around with or do chores around the house, then this is not a good reason to even utter the word "murder", but making you become responsible for your own life. If you are a minor you can seek legal counsel and perhaps live with a relative and if you aren't a minor then you have the control over yourself to get out on your own. I highly suggest as the other poster said that you seek counseling. It appears you are filled with rage and perhaps you have good reason, or, perhaps it is you that needs to simmer down and get some control over yourself. The world is full of rules so get use to it!
