Hamlet starts with soldiers changing the guard outside of Elsinore Castle in Denmark.The new guards have brought along a scholar named Horatio because they claim to haveseen a ghost. Horatio is skeptical of their story until the ghost actually appears. He thentries to speak to it, but the ghost remains silent until it stalks away.

Horatio tells the guards that the ghost was dressed the same way Old Hamlet the former!ing of Denmark and Hamlet"s father# was dressed when he defeated !ing $ortinbras of %orway. He further tells them that young $ortinbras, the son, has gathered together anarmy to attack Denmark. &t this point the ghost reappears and Horatio again begs it tospeak to him. The ghost seems about to say something but at that moment a cock crowsand the ghost vanishes. The guards and Horatio decide to tell Hamlet what they haveseen.

!ing Claudius , who is Hamlet"s uncle and who assumed the throne after Hamlet"s fatherdied, is in the castle. He has recently married 'ueen (ertrude , who is Hamlet"s motherand the widow to Old Hamlet. Claudius is worried about the fact that young $ortinbras

has raised an army against Denmark, and so he sends out messengers to the uncle ofyoung $ortinbras asking him to stop his nephew. Claudius then turns to )aertes , the sonof *olonius , and asks him why he re+uested an audience. )aertes asks the king for

permission to return to $rance, which he is granted.

Claudius finally turns his attention to Hamlet, who is standing in black robes of mourningfor his father. He tells Hamlet that it is unnatural for a man to mourn for such a long

period of time. 'ueen (ertrude agrees, and asks Hamlet to wear normal clothes again.oth the king and +ueen then beg Hamlet to stay with them at the castle rather than return

to his studies in -ittenberg. Hamlet agrees to stay, and both his mother and uncle rushout of the palace to celebrate their new wedding.

Horatio arrives with the guards and tells Hamlet that they have seen his father"s ghost.Hamlet is e tremely interested in this, and informs them that he will /oin them for thewatch that night.

)aertes is finishing his packing and is also giving his sister Ophelia some brotherlyadvice before he leaves. He warns her to watch out for Hamlet whom he has seen wooingher. )aertes tells Ophelia to ignore Hamlet"s overtures towards her until he is made king,at which point if he still wants to marry her then she should consent. *olonius arrives andorders his son to hurry up and get to the ship. *olonius then gives )aertes some fatherlyadvice, telling him to behave himself in $rance. )aertes departs, leaving Ophelia with

*olonius. *olonius then turns to her and asks what has been going on between her andHamlet. 0he tells him that Hamlet has professed his love to her, but *olonius only laughsand calls her ignorant. He then orders her to avoid Hamlet and to not believe his

protestations of love. Ophelia promises to obey her father.

Hamlet, Horatio and a guard meet outside to see whether the ghost will appear. 1t soonarrives and silently beckons Hamlet to follow it. Hamlet pushes away Horatio, who is

trying to hold him back, and runs after the ghost. The guard tells Horatio that they had better follow Hamlet and make sure he is alright.

The ghost finally stops and turns to Hamlet. He tells Hamlet that he is the ghost of OldHamlet, who has come to tell his son the truth about how he died. He tells Hamlet that he

was sitting in the garden one day, asleep in his chair, when Claudius came up to him and poured poison into his ear. He was killed immediately, and because he was not allowed toconfess his sins, he is now suffering in *urgatory. The ghost of Old Hamlet then ordershis son to seek revenge for this foul crime before departing.

Hamlet is confused about whether to believe the ghost or not, but he makes Horatio andthe guard swear to never reveal what they have seen. He decides that he will pretend to bemad in order to fool Claudius and (ertrude until he is able to know whether Claudiusreally killed his father or not.

*olonius sends his servant 2eynaldo to $rance in order to spy on )aertes. He order

2eynaldo to ask the other Danes what sort of reputation )aertes has in order to make surehis son is behaving. 2eynaldo promises to do this and leaves for $rance. Ophelia enterslooking e tremely frightened and informs her father that Hamlet has gone mad. 0he tellshim that Hamlet entered the room where she was sewing and took her wrist. &fter staringinto her eyes for a long while he walked out of the room without ever taking his eyes offof her. *olonius concludes that Hamlet must have gone mad because he ordered Opheliato re/ect Hamlet"s affections.

Claudius and (ertrude have invited two friends of Hamlet to come and spy on Hamlet.They are aware that Hamlet is acting strangely and want the friends to figure out what the

problem is. 2osencrant3 and (uildenstern , eager to please !ing Claudius, agree to try

and find out what is wrong with Hamlet. They leave, and *olonius enters with news thatthe messengers are back from %orway. Claudius tells him to bring the messengers in.

The messengers inform Claudius that after they arrived, the uncle of $ortinbras sent hisnephew a summons. 4oung $ortinbras obeyed, and the uncle chastised him for attemptingto attack Denmark. $ortinbras apologi3ed for his behavior and received an annualallowance from his uncle as a token of goodwill. $urther, the uncle gave $ortinbras

permission to attack *oland. 0ince $ortinbras would have to march through Denmark inorder to reach *oland, the uncle sent Claudius a letter asking for safe passage. Claudius,over/oyed by this news, assents to give permission.

*olonius then tells him that he knows the reason for Hamlet"s madness. He readsClaudius and (ertrude one of the letters Hamlet sent to Ophelia in which Hamlet professes his love for her. Claudius is not entirely convinced, and so he and *oloniusagree to set up a meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia that they will be able to spy on.

Hamlet enters the room and cuts their plotting short. *olonius asks the king and +ueen toleave him alone with their son, to which they assent. *olonius then tries to talk to Hamlet,
