Hamlet is the character the story surrounds. He is the prince of Denmark and is mourning the loss of his father who was wrongfully killed by his brother for the throne. Hamlet is portrayed as the melancholy, indecisive young man overwhelmed with his own issues causing emotions to easily fluctuate and make irrational decisions.
Claudius, Hamlet's father's brother, was an uncle with obviously ill intentions. He wrongfully killed is own brother, to then marry his brother's wife, and embezzle the throne that rightfully belonged to his nephew after his father's death, creating heartache throughout his family, which then showcased his self centered way of thinking.

Horatio is Hamlet’s trusted confidant, and despite all of Hamlet’s conflict and mishaps, he remains loyal.

The situations Hamlet were into put him in the position to make real decisions that could change his life and the people around, whether its for the better or worse. Hamlet was an intellectual and not a fighter and he was put in places were his fighting skills were tested, knowing that was not his strong suit.]]> 2019-04-05 12:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/oringerose1/k8uj8tseect8/wish/348895139 WORK DISTRIBUTED oringerose1 https://padlet.com/oringerose1/k8uj8tseect8/wish/348896207
