Presentation transcript:

Hamlet Prince of Denmark His father has died. His mother has remarried his uncle Claudius. He discovers a terrible secret…

Claudius The Newly Crowned King & Hamlet’s Uncle He wants to be king, but there’s a problem: his brother, the rightful king of Denmark. Conveniently, the king dies, leaving behind a grieving wife. Claudius decides to comfort the grieving widow by marrying her… Oh by the way, he also becomes the new King of Denmark.

Gertrude Queen of Denmark & Hamlet’s Mother After her husband dies, his brother was so kind as to comfort Gertrude in her time of grief. (Insert incest comment here). Now they’re married. Her only son, Hamlet, doesn’t like the idea of having a new daddy. He just needs some time to get used to it…

Polonius Claudius’ trusted advisor & father of Ophelia and Laertes Ophelia is Hamlet’s ex and Laertes is one of his best friends…recipe for disaster! He takes himself (and life) seriously, and is fiercely loyal to the king & queen.

Ophelia Polonius’ daughter Ophelia loves Hamlet, but does he love her? He’s always playing mind games: one minute it seems he loves her; another, he’s insulting her. SHE JUST CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Two of Hamlet’s school “chums;” these fools are used by King Claudius in his revenge plot against Hamlet. They never see it coming…

Horatio Hamlet’s BFF You couldn’t know a better guy than Horatio. Loyal, caring & logical, he tries to save Hamlet from himself. But who can control a crazy person bent on revenge?

The Ghost (King Hamlet) Hamlet’s deceased father From beyond the grave, he appears one night to reveal a terrible secret that drives Hamlet to madness. (Hamlet’s madness, real or feigned, has the been the topic of many critical examinations of the play). But does the ghost really exist?
