A Synopsis of Hamlet
By Scott Bartelson, Management Associate
 Czachórski: Actors before Hamlet

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is home from school to mourn the death of his father, King Hamlet, who has
died two months earlier. Hamlet is disgusted by the marriage of his newly widowed mother, Queen
Gertrude, to his Uncle, King Hamlet’s brother, Claudius, who now has the throne.

Shortly thereafter, a ghost has appeared to guards on nightly watch as well as Hamlet’s good friend,
Horatio, who thinks the spirit has a likeness to the former King Hamlet. When prompted to speak by
Horatio, the ghost will not. Horatio asks Hamlet to wait for the ghost and see if it will speak to him. The
ghost of his father beckons Hamlet to follow him and reveals that his brother Claudius poisoned him in
the ear. Hamlet vows to avenge his father’s murder.

Meanwhile, Laertes, son to the King’s advisor Polonius is set to return to France. Before he leaves, he
tells Ophelia, his sister, to be weary of Hamlet’s affections towards her. Polonius gives Laertes advice on
how to act abroad and orders Ophelia to stay away from Hamlet.

Hamlet’s sanity begins to be questioned by all. Claudius and Gertrude are both concerned; Polonius
suggests it is Ophelia’s rejection of his advances. Claudius and Polonius decide to spy on Hamlet and
Ophelia. Claudius further employs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two childhood friends of Hamlet, to
spy on him further. Hamlet quickly realizes their intentions.

Second Quarto cover page of Hamlet

A troupe of players happens to be in town and Hamlet utilizes the actors to determine the validity of his
father’s murder. He will have them perform the very act of murder, killing a king through poison in the
ear, which the ghost has claimed. He asks Horatio to watch Claudius’ reaction throughout the play. While
the court is watching, Claudius is enraged and leaves the play convincing Hamlet that he is the murderer.

Hamlet comes upon Claudius in the chapel, kneeling down to pray. He considers killing him then and
there, but since Claudius is in mid-prayer, and will therefore go to heaven if he dies, Hamlet decides to
wait until Claudius is committing some sin, so that he will go to hell like Hamlet’s father before him.

Hamlet meets Gertrude in her room and an argument ensues. When he hears Polonius who is hiding
behind the curtain shout for help, he stabs him thinking it is Claudius. The ghost appears to Hamlet to
refocus him on the task of killing Claudius.

Fortinbras, Prince of Norway, whose father’s lands were seized by the late King, decides to head to
Denmark. Claudius demands that Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern head for England. Claudius has
sent a letter with them ordering Hamlet’s execution during the trip. While at sea, however, Hamlet
discovers his planned murder and switches the orders, causing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to be
executed. Hamlet returns to Denmark.

Meanwhile back at Elsinore, Ophelia has gone mad with grief. Laertes returns from France and learns it
was Hamlet who has killed his father, Polonius. Claudius suggests that Laertes duel with Hamlet and
poisons the tip of Laertes foil for a fatal blow. If Laertes loses the duel, Claudius will put poison into a
drink for Hamlet. Gertrude enters and announces that Ophelia has drowned.

In the graveyard, Hamlet reminisces on a friend of his whose skull he has found. When the processional
arrives with Ophelia’s corpse, Laertes and Hamlet argue. A duel is scheduled.

During the fight, Gertrude accidentally drinks from the poisoned chalice and dies. Hamlet is wounded
with the poisoned sword, but in a scuffle, the foils are switched and Laertes is also wounded with the
poisoned foil. In dying, Laertes confesses Claudius’ plot to kill Hamlet. Hamlet stabs Claudius and
Hamlet dies asking Horatio to tell his story. The Norwegian forces arrive at Elsinore, and Prince
Fortinbras seizes control of Denmark.
