Activity 1.3


Basically the play is as follows, the king of Denmark is slain by his brother Claudius who seeks power. Claudius anger and jealousy allow for him to be known as the villain of the play. Claudius succeeds in him murder to become king then marries the king’s wife Gertrude. Young hamlet is outraged and rebels against his uncle and mother and all of those around him including his love Ophelia. Claudius plots and plans to kill hamlet because of his knowledge about the murder of his father. In doing so only ends up getting himself killed along with his wife. Ophelia ends up “killing her self” or so it can be debated that she did, really no proof but she dies. Polonius is killed by hamlet by mistake but probably would have happened eventually because of his tenaciousness around hamlet and his jealousy over his daughter which was unbearable. Laertes ends up dieing alongside hamlet after there courageous battle in which hamlet was victorious. But was sliced by Laertes sword which was laced with poison, undoubtedly killing hamlet.
