Shakespeare's Hamlet Questions
A#1 Question 15: The ghost explains to Hamlet about the way he died. That he was asleep in his orchard, and that his uncle came up to him while he was sleeping and poisoned him, “with juice of a cursed hebenon in a vial” (Shakespeare 1824). He had poured the poison it in his ear and it moved quickly through the body. He tells him how his body was then covered in a rash. His own brother took his life and everything that went with it.
A#2 Question 2: Ophelia describes Hamlet as not looking like himself. That he had no hat on, shirt untucked, that he was dirty, and his face was pale like his undershirt.

He tells Hamlet to keep his mother from being overwhelmed. Gertrude thinks Hamlet has gone mad, and has no idea who he is talking to. Hamlet is the only one who sees the ghost. She tells him that it is his imagination that he is seeing things. That they mind can hallucinate, when you have gone mad.
A#4 Question 4: The two reasons for why Claudius has not taken action on Hamlet is: 1) The Queen is his mother and she is loves him more than anything. She is a big part of the king’s life “she’s so conjunctive to my life and soul” (Shakespeare 1879), and he cannot live without her. The second reason is that the people love him and that he could not have him arrested, because he would end up hurting himself. They would not believe him and they would thing he was doing it because he is his brothers son.
A#5 Question 3: Yorick was a funny person with a great imagination, and his friend. He use to carry Hamlet on his back and while staring at his lips, he tells Horatio he does not know how many times he has kissed his lips. Hamlet is realizing how much he has missed Yorick, and that his mother will end up like him one day.
