Hamlet is a round and dynamic character that changes and evolves throughout the course of the
play. He is also the protagonist of the story. Hamlet is a round character because he shows a range of
emotions and changes his mind, just like a real person. Even though he wants revenge, he talks
himself out of killing Claudius while Claudius is praying. He is uncertain about how and whether to
avenge his father's death.

Claudius is a round character and the antagonist in the story.For example he is not as heartless as his
behaviour suggests and we get an insight into his remorse for the bad things he has done. He is
aware that all those things – murdering his brother, marrying his widow, and plotting against Hamlet
– are terrible.

The Ghost of King Claudius is a flat character who does not change or evolve througout the story.

Polonius is a flat character who can be easily summed up in a few words. He is a sneaky, and foolish
old man who doesn't change from the moment we meet him to the moment he dies. While he
speaks in cliches, Polonius is a concerned father who offers sound advice to his children

Ophelia is a flat character who really doesn't change much throughout the story. Ophelia is
presented as a flat character with no true emotional security or depthwhy

10. Polonius is largely a stock character: he has no interior life. He is a jealously authoritarian parent
who demands absolute obedience from his children, of whom he is groundlessly suspicious.

11. the ghost

King Hamlet's murder makes the Ghost a most sympathetic character. No one would have questioned
the existence of that Ghost, and few would have believed — even for a moment, as Hamlet does —
that the Ghost could be a devil. He seems to care greatly for his son, both before and after death,
and still loves Gertrude, despite her marrying Claudius nearly immediately after his own death.

Hamlet is also a sympathetic character, as the idea of revenge drives him while his morality and
Christian inclinations simultaneously urge him to charity. The fact that her mother's lover was also
her husband's killer further exacerbated the situation.
