1. In the first act of Hamlet, we learn something is wrong in Denmark through both natural
and supernatural means. Our first hint is seeing the ghost—in literature, ghosts don't
usually hang around castles when everything is just fine! Then Marcellus describes how
the shipwrights are being kept at work seven days a week and all the preparations for
war, and Horatio explains the threat from young Fortinbras. So we know that Denmark is
having political and military problems as well as the religious and moral one implied by
the ghost's presence. All this we learn in the first scene. Claudius's long speech at the
beginning of scene 2, with its unsavory smoothing over of his quick marriage to
Gertrude, also suggests that his rule over Denmark may be at the root of the problem.
Later in the act, we get assorted comments from characters, such as Hamlet 's "my
father's spirit—in arms! All is not well" (1.2.277) and Marcellus's "something is rotten in
the state of Denmark" (1.4.100).
2. The impression Claudius made in scene 2 is he came off as an arrogant person and serves
as a bad fatherly role towards Hamlet.
Claudius eliminates Hamlet by demeaning the young man’s self-image. Accusing Hamlet
of possessing “a heart unfortified,” “a mind impatient,” and an “understanding simple and
unschool’d,” Claudius defines Hamlet as inadequate to the task of being king.
3. Hamlet has been deeply traumatized by the death of his father and the fact that his
mother, Gertrude, has hastily remarried Claudius, his wicked uncle. Indeed, Hamlet is so
traumatized by recent events that he wishes he could commit suicide, that "[T]his too, too
sullied flesh would melt, / Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew.
4. Laertles cautions her against falling in love with Hamlet, who is, according to Laertes,
too far above her by birth to be able to love her honorably. Since Hamlet is responsible
not only for his own feelings but for his position in the state, it may be impossible for him
to marry her. Ophelia agrees to keep Laertes’ advice as a “watchman” close to her heart
 but urges him not to give her advice that he does not practice himself. Laertes reassures
her that he will take care of himself.
5. In the darkness, the ghost speaks to Hamlet, claiming to be his father’s spirit, come to
rouse Hamlet to revenge his death, a “foul and most unnatural murder”. Hamlet is
appalled at the revelation that his father has been murdered, and the ghost tells him that
as he slept in his garden, a villain poured poison into his ear—the very villain who now
wears his crown, Claudius. Hamlet’s worst fears about his uncle are confirmed. “O my
prophetic soul!” he cries. The ghost exhorts Hamlet to seek revenge, telling him that
Claudius has corrupted Denmark and corrupted Gertrude, having taken her from the pure
love of her first marriage and seduced her in the foul lust of their incestuous union. But
the ghost urges Hamlet not to act against his mother in any way, telling him to “leave her
to heaven” and to the pangs of her own conscience.
6. In this scene (Act II, scene ii), Hamlet enters the room reading a book and speaking
nonsense as Polonius clocks his actions. What Polonius does not know is that Hamlet is
intent on tricking the old spy in order to make sure he believes his act of pretending to be
mad is completely real. Polonius believes the method to Hamlet's madness or the reason
behind it is that he is lovesick over Polonius's daughter, Ophelia. He concludes that
Hamlet is in a state of "love-melancholy." Polonius is in fact in that very time and place
to observe the young Danish prince for evidence that his madness is real and report his
findings back to the King and Queen. Hamlet plays on this, speaking nonsensical words
and making light of Polonius's age. His endgame is to make sure that Polonius and
Claudius think he is mad and simply just dismiss his behavior so that they will let their
guards down around him. If this happens, he will be at a better advantage to get revenge
on Claudius for killing his father.
7. Polonius intend to spy on Hamlet’s confrontation with Ophelia. Gertrude exits, and
Polonius directs Ophelia to walk around the lobby. Polonius hears Hamlet coming, and
he and the king hide. Hamlet enters, speaking thoughtfully and agonizingly to himself
about the question of whether to commit suicide to end the pain of experience. In mid-
thought, Hamlet sees Ophelia approaching. Having received her orders from Polonius,
she tells him that she wishes to return the tokens of love he has given her. Angrily,
Hamlet denies having given her anything; he laments the dishonesty of beauty, and
 claims both to have loved Ophelia once and never to have loved her at all. Bitterly
commenting on the wretchedness of humankind, he urges Ophelia to enter a nunnery. He
criticizes women for making men behave like monsters and for contributing to the
world’s dishonesty by painting their faces to appear more beautiful than they are.
Working himself into a rage, Hamlet denounces Ophelia, women, and humankind in
general, saying that he wishes to end all marriages. As he storms out, Ophelia mourns the
“noble mind” that has now lapsed into apparent madness.
8. Hamlet actually sets up the Murder of Gonzago. In that Playing, He wanted to know the
truth of what Ghost told. During the Drama Murder of Gonzago, Hamlet will then Watch
Claudius and judge from his reaction whether he is actually guilty of the Murder before
pursuing revenge. The reaction tells that his uncle (Claudius) really did murder his
Father by looking the reaction of Claidus when he was rising angry and quickly left the
room when the Gonzago was murdered in the play. Tellingly, as the play is about to
commence, Hamlet tells his uncle that its Title is The Mousetrap. Hamlet indeed cleverly
uses the play to “trap” his Murderous uncle.
9. Because Hamlet thought that if he kills Claudius while he is praying, he will end the
king’s life at the moment when he was seeking forgiveness for his sins, sending
Claudius’s soul to heaven. This is hardly an adequate revenge, He also thought,
especially since Claudius, by killing Hamlet’s father before he had time to make his last
confession, ensured that his brother would not go to heaven. So here, Hamlet decides to
wait, resolving to kill Claudius when the king is sinning—when he is either drunk, angry,
or lustful. He leaves. Claudius rises and declares that he has been unable to pray
sincerely: “My words fly up, my thoughts remain below”
10. To provide further proof of his guilt, Hamlet actually does is urge his mother to repent
choosing Claudius over his own father. More specifically, he repeatedly demands that she
avoid Claudius’s bed. The ghost reminds him halmet to judge his mother, he must let her
mother go to heaven. And warned that his revenge against Claudius must be carried out
immediately.
11. Hamlet has stopped fretting regarding what course of action to take. He figures God (or
Providence, as he calls it) controls everything that happens, even down to the minutest
detail. Though humans attempt to control fate, they cannot. Hamlet's hoping to just go
 with the flow. He happens to have his father's signet ring on hand, so he can modify the
letter condemning him to death and see that his former friends get hung in his place. He
also escapes the England-bound ship when pirates attack it. These coincidences bring him
back to Denmark and therefore convince him that it is his destiny to avenge his father's
murder.

12. –Gertrude drinks a poisoned cup that Claudius had meant for Hamlet. When Gertrude
faints and Claudius excuses this by lying "she swoons to see her son bleed," Hamlet hears
Gertrude say it was the cup that killed her.
-Laertes is killed dueling with Hamlet. He uses a poisoned foil and cuts Hamlet's flesh,
barely, but enough for the poison to do its work to kill Hamlet. Hamlet, continuing the
fight, picks up the tainted foil by mistake, so when he wounds Laertes, Laertes is thus
poisoned. Hamlet hears a confession from Laertes, then stabs Claudius with the same
poisoned sword and pours the rest of the poisoned drink down his throat, thus killing him
three ways: sword wound, poisoned sword, poisoned drink.
- The notable quality of all these deaths is that they are all wrapped in lies, deceit and
treachery. Hamlet finished this tawdry mess by revealing the hidden and by assuring that
Horatio would tell his story. There could be no honorable conclusion for these characters.
Hamlet is our hero who pursued his quest by using a clever and cruel web of lies. He
used lies and pretense to uncover larger lies. In his death, he begs for an honest telling of
his life.
-Throughout the play, Hamlet's good friend Horatio is both his confidant and the voice of
stability and reason in a corrupt court. He knows what has happened from beginning to
end, although he is on the sidelines for most of the main action. For example, Horatio
sees the ghost before Hamlet does, and he is there when Hamlet meets the ghost on the
castle ramparts. He knows Hamlet is only pretending to be insane. Horatio is with Hamlet
in the graveyard when Ophelia's funeral procession arrives. He knows what happens to
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Because the dying Hamlet is aware that Horatio is the best
and most reliable witness to recent events at the Danish court, he asks him not to commit
suicide. Somebody needs to stay alive, Hamlet says, to tell the story of what happened
 and how it ended so tragically. Hamlet also needs Horatio to let Fortinbras know that he
has his blessing ("vote") to take the Danish throne, saying Tell him so, with the news,
more and less,Which has been asked for.
13. –Claudis conflict
One conflict in halmet faces is killing claudis, his uncle who killed his father to become
king. This is the main conflict that is dragged out throughout the whole play. The ghost of
halmet father tell him about how he was betrayed and murdered ih his sleep by claudis.
He want halmet to take ravange for him by killing claudis. After halmet encounters with
his wather ghost, he keeps going back and forth and whether to do what the ghost says.
