    return he spots two gravediggers shovelling a
    grave for whom Hamlet doesn‟t know to be
    Ophelia. Hamlet speaks to one of the
    gravediggers, who does not recognize him as
    Hamlet, and discovers that he was sent to

    trust them.
   Hamlet loves his mother but doesn't feel as close to her
    because she remarried Claudius after his fathers death.
   Obviously hamlet truly hates Claudius and is prepared
    to kill him.
motivations

The main reason for Hamlets motivation to kill
uncle Claudius is the fact that his dead fathers
ghost tempts him to revenge himself.


        What do other people
           think of him?
    Hamlet acts very strange towards
    others. In fact he acts so strange
    that people begin to think that he
    is mad.
   Externally- hamlet is fine but confronts
    people making them think that he is mad. He
    gets stabbed by the poison blade of Laertes
    also.
   Internally- hamlet battles with his inner
    conflict until his excuse to be mad becomes
    semi true.
   Hamlet at the start is a proud son
    before his fathers murder. When his
    mother marries now king Claudius he
    suddenly feels more distant from his
    parents.
   Hamlet in the middle is completely
    unsure on how his future is going to
    plan out. He feels that it is fate to kill
    Claudius yet struggles to bring
    himself to do it. He begins to go crazy
    in own thoughts.
   Hamlet at the end has decided what
    needs to be done and chooses his
    future. Although he was dying when
    he killed Claudius we never find out
    whether he would've killed him any
    way.
   “We know what we are but not what we may be”-uncertain

   “To be or not to be, that is the question”- confused

   “The plays the thing, wherein ill catch the conscience of the king”-
    plotting

   “There's something rotten in the state of Denmark, and hamlet says… its
    pay back time!”- brave and strong

   “I am haunted by the ghost of my father, I think that should allow me to
    quote hamlet as much as I please”-troubled

   “Mother you have my father much offended”- Confident

   “My fathers brother, but no more like my father- than I to Hercules.” –
    humorous.
