Thanks.

- the Ghost appears& vanishes;

- the Ghost later reappears to lead Hamlet on into the night;

- the King & Polonious hide behind a tapestry to eavesdrop on Hamlet and Ophelia;

FACTS. - The elder Hamlet and his wife are rulers of Denmark;

- Gertrude gives birth to a son (a son is born), who is named after his father, on the same day that the Gravedigger begins his profession;

- During young Hamlet's childhood he is a favourite with Yorick, the court jester;

- Yorick dies;
