'Hamlet' is one of an example of Shakespears tragedy. Recent classes, our class watched 3 movies of hamlet. Then I am going anaylse each of the character. Of course, main character in 'Hamlet' is Hamlet. Prince Hamlet is son of King, however he should decide that whether to kill his uncle Claudius and revenge his father's death. He doesn't like his mother about marrying uncle Claudius just after his father died. He pretend as crazy for trying to kill uncle. Another character is ghost of Hamlet who was late King of Denmark and killed by Clausdius. He appears several times in the movie but he only speaks to Hamlet to tell him about his death and demand revenge his murder. New King of Denmark, Claudius he murdered his brother to seize power, and subsequently married Gertrude who is Queen of the Denmark. Queen Gertrude, current wife of Claudius, she doesn't know that Claudius murdered her former husband until Hamlet tells her. Polonius is father of Ophelia, and he is accidentally killed by Hamlet while he was eavesdropping on the conversation between Hamlet and Gertrude. Horatio is a friend of Hamlet who first inform Hamlet about the Ghost. He is the only person that Hamlet trusts. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, they are wrong friends Hamlet who were invited by Clausdius. You recommend to read or watch 'Hamlet'
