Hamlet~~1
Claudius was a new king of Denmark. Hamlet's uncle married to his mom. There was a contrast between happy hence of Polonius and fractured dysfunctional family of Hamlet. Other contrast was between fatherly love Laertes enjoys and Hamlet's state of loss and estrangement. Ophelia is controlled by the men in her household, they tell her what to do. Hamlet continues “act” crazy to Polonius but his indirect insults show us that he's not crazy. There was contrast now developing between Hamlet and Fortinbras. Hamlet was indecisive while Fortinbras was dedicated to revenge. The king of Norway might be tricking Claudius, Claudius was not a wise miler. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Hamlet's friends who were asked by Claudius and Gertrude to discover the cause of Hamlet's depression. Hamlet claims that he will “pretend” to be crazy, but his behavior towards Ophelia was emotionally intense. Hamlet and Claudius both used traps to catch one another's secrets; Claudius spies on Hamlet, and Hamlet writes a play to “catch the conscience of the king”. Claudius reacted to the play itself which maked clear through its dialogue that the player king was murdered by his nephew.

You might like to see a movie called Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990). It takes those two minor characters and makes them the centre of their own story. The English is a little more modern, but it is full of very strange jokes. You might have to watch it a small piece at a time!
