Mr. Sullivan, my 12th grade English teacher, made us dress up in Burger King crowns and sword fight with paper towel tubes to make sense of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Here at the American School in Guadalajara we are going to use the internet instead. In the posts below, follow us as we seek to understand why this really is the greatest play in the English language.

IV, 7
At this point in the play, the end of Act 4, how do you think the plot will be resolved?
I think that there´s going to be a revolt for the bad ruling of Claudius, and when Hamlet returns he will find everythng worse, but with a plan to take revange of Claudius and he´s going to make it. Finally, Hamlet is going to become king with his mother, but before that, I think that Horatio is going to die.
Diego Torres I think that Hamlet will finally kill Claudius and will become the king of Denmark. Hamlet's father will reappear and thank him for doing his job.
The plot will be resoved when Claudius eventually dies. But I belive that Ophelias brother will die because he is to mad to reason with Hamlet, I believe that much ore tragedy and death will occure and Fortnbrass will be the final strike and problem towards Hamlet problems and his belightfull kingdome.
Carlos Benitez I think Hamlet will return home and find more sadness when he finds out about Ophelia's death. He will realize Claudio's plan to kill him in the joust and will play anyways, winning and killing the brother in an "accident". He will reveal his plan when Claudio can do nothing to stop him and, after several kills and more suicides, Hamlet will become the new king...I think
I think that Hamlet is going to win the duel and then they are going to give the wrong cup of wine to claudius and he is going to die instead of Hamlet. Then Gertrude is going to get depress and she is going to commit suicide. Then after the death of his mother Hamlet will have no reason to leave so he will commit suicide too.
I think this play will end by most of the actors dying including Hamlet Leartes and Claudius. I think that maybe Gertrude will stay alive and she will have to suffer for all of the things she did wrong before. I also think Horatio will live.
i'm not going to take any suppositions on how the plot it going to end because i wan't it to amaze me. but i believe that everyone is going to die because if this is one of the most deadly of shakespeares plays, whats is romeo and juliet when both main characters end up dead. and i simply can't see how hamlet will continue since he is starting to suffer from the situation and creating a bloodshed. eduardo becerra
I think that this plot will end with a totally tragic ending. I believe that all will end with Hamlet being driven to madness and left in solitude after all the surrounding characters die. I think Hamlet will obtain his revenge while at the same time leading to his mothers insanity and to Ophelia's brothers death. Eventually all will die but him.
Some how at the end of this wonderful play these are my predictions: 1- In the duel they are going to have Laertes and Hamlet, one of this is getting severly wounded, but not to death. 2.- Hamlet will take revenge upon Claudius, so he is going to kill him with a precise strategy. 3.- Somehow, dont ask me why, Gertrude is dying maybe committing suicide or getting killed. 4.- Finally Hamlet is going to commit suicide when she finds out that the two persons he loves died.
My predictions are that bascally everyone is going to die except Hamlet. he is ging to have an awesome plan and will become a succesful king. Many new secrets will be uncovered and the play will yet involve much more conflict
I think that we can use your hints such as "everyone except Horatio will die" as a clue to how this play will end. I think that the battle will take place and Ophelias brother will not kill Hamlet, but instead Hamlet will be able to kill him somehow. After that I think that Claudius and Hamlet will have some sort of confrontation and that during this, Hamlet's mom will be so overcome with grief that she will kill herself and Hamlet will end up killing Claudius. After that, Hamlet has gone completely mad with having so many people in his life taken because of everything that has happened that he will also most likely commit suicide. But, that's just me. I personally can't wait to actually see what happens.

I think that it is going to be a disapointig ending. I dont think anything will b resolved and i think it will be a little disapointing.
