Hamlet Son of a murdered Danish king and nephew of present king (Claudius). Suffers mental anguish over death of his father, marriage of his mother to his uncle Torn by desire to enact revenge and his moral sense of right and wrong

Claudius King of Denmark, Hamlet’s uncle Becomes King after Hamlet’s father’s death Hamlet suspects him of the murder Gertrude Queen of Denmark; Hamlet’s mother and widow of the former king Her marriage to Claudius within two months of her husband’s death troubles Hamlet…duh.

Ophelia Daughter of Polonius Loves Hamlet but his rejection of her during his feigned madness causes a pathological reaction, I.e. she gets a little nutty

Minor Characters Polonius: butt-kissing Lord Chamberlain of King Claudius Horatio: Hamlet’s best friend - remains loyal to Hamlet to the end, “Good night, sweet prince…” Laertes: Ophelia’s brother. His impulsiveness makes him Hamlet’s foil. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: “friends” of Hamlet from school. They work as spies for the King - Hamlet is quick to smell out their treachery

Setting Most of the play takes place in Elsinore Castle in Eastern Denmark. Some action takes place in the following places: A plain in Denmark A graveyard near Elsinore A ship bound for England from Denmark (offstage)

Themes Hamlet’s inability to act (paralysis) Corruption based on inherited sin (More Cain and Abel) Revenge as Redemption loyalty vs. doubt Madness under the mask of sanity The Meaninglessness of existence

Ambition is so powerful a passion in the human breast, that however high we reach we are never satisfied. -Machiavelli
