1. Hamlet, Fortinbras, and Laertes all want to revenge for their fathers death. Their father's were killed, their son's loved them dearly. Laertes.
2. At first, he is contemplating suicide but decides not to go through with it. At the end of the book, he makes up his mind and says that he is prepared for what will come to him. If he dies, he dies. If he lives, he lives.
3. I think it is okay for Hamlet to admire Fortinbras's actions. Fortinbras is mad because his father, the king of Norway thanks to the Danes.
4. Literal poisons were used as a weapon of murder. People who were poisoned died. Now in the figurative meaning, people can be poisoned by soaking up information that everyone says and not standing up for what you believe. Take Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. These young guys
5. In a way, yes. He realizes that he will have a duel with Laertes and is prepared for the outside. If he dies, he dies. If he wins, he wins.
6. Ophelia died of unfortunate events. However, she should have know that water adds weight to your body, making you sink lower and lower as time passes by. Polonius had it coming, he had been spying on too many people, and if you are spying, there is a high probability that you might get stabbed, hurt, or killed. In that case, don't eavesdrop on people. Claudius DEFINITELY had it coming, he killed Hamlet's father, married Hamlet's mother, "asked for forgiveness", and yet was never sorry for killing Hamlet's father so that he can get the throne. Gertrude, the poor queen, accidentally drank the poisoned wine, which killed her.
7. I loved this play. All the action, drama, suspense. Great book, Mr. Mohr. I give it a 10.
