arises from the protagonist's own personality and character.

Hamlet says it. It's not really clear whether he feels it. In fact, the whole discussion is sparked by his remark, "Thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart." Hamlet thinks he will win the contest, but he has a sense of foreboding. He's worried. Horatio tells him not to proceed with the contest if he's worried about it. Hamlet rallies and says "We defy augury. There is a special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it is not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all." He means that what will happen, will happen, and all we can do is to be ready for it. He doesn't feel ready for it, he's worried about it, but all he can do is to try to get himself ready. He can't change it.

He has two plans to kill Hamlet.

First, he sends Hamlet to England with sealed orders to the King of England to execute Hamlet. That plan fails.

Second, Claudius arranges a fencing match of Hamlet against Laertes, where Laertes has a poisoned foil, and Claudius has also poisoned Hamlet's wine. That plan succeeds in killing Hamlet, but Queen Gertrude, Laertes, and Claudius also die, with Claudius killed by his own poison.

She said a simple explanation: Hamlet is insane.

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.

false

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.

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.

This could describe either Polonius or Claudius.

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.

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.

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.
