Hamlet – Who’s who?
Starter Task: Taking care
with your presentation, in
your neatest handwriting,
try to provide a synopsis
(A brief summary of the
play) of the play based on
the two versions you have
seen so far (Animated
Tales and Simpsons!)
Thursday 19th March
We will be peer assessing
these summaries so go
for technical accuracy!
Hamlet
• The Prince of Denmark,
the title character, and
the protagonist. About
30 years old at the start
of the play, Hamlet is
the son of Queen
Gertrude and the late
King Hamlet - and the
nephew of the present
king.
Claudius
• The King of Denmark,
Hamlet’s uncle, and
the play’s antagonist.
The villain of the play,
Claudius is a
calculating, ambitious
politician, driven by
his lust for power.
Gertrude
The Queen of
Denmark, Hamlet’s
mother, recently
married to Claudius.
Polonius
• The Lord
Chamberlain of
Claudius’s court,
Polonius is the
father of Laertes
and Ophelia.
Horatio
• Hamlet’s close friend,
who studied with the
prince at the
university. He is loyal
and helpful to Hamlet
throughout the play.
Ophelia
• Polonius’s daughter, a
beautiful young
woman with whom
Hamlet has been in
love. Ophelia is a
sweet and innocent
young girl, who obeys
her father and her
brother, Laertes.
Laertes
Laertes - Polonius’s
son and Ophelia’s
brother, Passionate
and quick to action.
And the ghost…
And the ghost…
The ghost
appears to be
that of
Hamlet’s
dead father.
Also named
Hamlet.
But the audience
differed on the
interpretation of the
ghost (due to religion)
What your opinion on ghosts was depended on what religion you followed:
Catholics on ghosts:
• “Ghosts are the
spirits of the dearly
departed returned
from the grave for
some unfinished
business. They roam
the earth looking for
help from the living
to release them.
These spirits are
trapped in purgatory
until their business
is complete.”
Protestants on ghosts:
 “Ghosts are NOT the
spirits of the dearly
departed. They are
demons/devils who
merely LOOK LIKE
those we once knew so
they can mess with us.
It’s best to stay away
from ghosts. Never
listen to what a ghost
says.”
