The Story Hamlet’s uncle murders father and then marries his mother Hamlet’s uncle becomes king Hamlet feigns insanity to exact revenge

Hamlet Prince of Denmark About 30 years old Son of Queen Gertrude and the late King Hamlet Nephew of the present king, Claudius.

Hamlet continued Hamlet is melancholy, bitter, and cynical. Full of hatred for his uncle's scheming and disgust for his mother's sexuality. Studied at the University of Wittenberg Sometimes indecisive and hesitant, but at other times prone to rash and impulsive acts.

Claudius The King of Denmark Hamlet's uncle Kills Hamlet’s father to become King The play's antagonist and villain Calculating, ambitious politician Driven by his sexual appetites and his lust for power

Gertrude The Queen of Denmark Hamlet's mother Married to King Claudius Prefers her social status over moral obligations

The Ghost (King Hamlet) The specter of Hamlet's recently deceased father Killed by King Claudius Asks Hamlet to avenge his death

Polonius The Lord Chamberlain of Claudius's court Pompous, conniving old man Father of Laertes and Ophelia.

Ophelia Polonius' daughter Hamlet is in love with her Obeys her father and her brother, Laertes.

Laertes Polonius's son Ophelia's brother Spends a lot of time in France Passionate and quick to action, Laertes is clearly a foil for the reflective Hamlet.
