Five Characters & Plot of Shakespeare's Hamlet

[tormund]

sorry its a bit off topic, but does anyone know five main characters in shakespeare's Hamlet, and the plot of it?

thnx:yuck:

Crack a book man.

 

[tiny-tim]

oooh! … isn't one of them …

Piglet ​

Too lazy for Cliff's Notes is a new low.

I'll help...one of the main characters is Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Good luck.

 

[mbisCool]

Everything goes to ****.

 

[tiny-tim]

… and I'm pretty sure one of the characters says …

is this a Tigger that i see before me? ​

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

The 5 main characters are H, a, m, l, and t. Yorik is in there too, but 'e plays a minor role. I hope he uses a stunt man, poor fellow. The plot is like this. Hamlet stomps around the castle looking for a bee or two, killing main characters as he goes. At the end everybody grabs a sword, drinks from a goblet, and kills somebody else to the end that all die. It's the least funny of his comedies. I recommend Romeo and Juliet instead. They all die too, but at least there's a chance that they might have sex first.

yes it was curtains for someone …

got injected with Polonium, i think …

though Hamlet never did find a bee …

they were all chasing after Pooh, who was trying to steal their hunny

You forgot the part about Banquo's ghost!

 

[Brilliant!]

Are you talking about the part in Hamlet where Mercutio stabbed Macbeth, and then Banquo's ghost showed up to laugh at Macbeth as he died?

And then they all sit down for a play.

Darn, Brilliant! You forgot King Richard and the pound of flesh. Kids these days got no culture!

 

[tormund]

i see y'all have a sense of humour

Alas, poor Tormund! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite
jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath meant to read Hamlet a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in his imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it.

Watch it, or I'll pour poison in your ear like Hamlet did to his father Shylock at the behest of his mother, Desdemona.

Honestly, tormund, this is much ado about nothing. There aren't many novel versions of plays, so it should be pretty easy to flip the book open to any page and come across at least 2 or 3 character names.

To read, or not to read, that is the question.

Now why did you do that? The OP may be able to extract enough usable information to pass his reading assignment.

What do you care? Cry 'hammock!', and let sleep the dogs who snore.

That made me laugh. Good one!

Is there a guru award for funniest post of the year?

Everyone's being so silly. Hamlet is a taut drama about developing better mousetraps. I don't know why this thread hasn't been moved to the appropriate engineering forum.

Doesn't someone pour a ham omelet into the King's ear?

 

[Loren Booda]

But what about danielle steel's hamlet?

That’s a bit of a long shot to expect an answer to your question in a forum like this isn’t it? But… since your optimism is so endearing… try http://www.shmoop.com/intro/literature/william-shakespeare/hamlet.html" on Shmoop. It might just be what you are looking for.

I bite my thumb at you....Hmm. Not censored.

Great! Now my thumb hurts.

 

[Dadface]

I'm not sure but I think Shakespeare wrote plays.Or was it that other geezer?

Yeah? Why would you think that?
