Hamlet Word Search
This Hamlet word search holds forty words from Shakespeare's tragedy of the Danish prince: Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Polonius, Horatio, the ghost, Yorick and his skull, and the poisoned rapier.
Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play, close to 4,000 lines, written around 1600 from an old Scandinavian tale of a prince called Amleth. Elsinore is a real place, the town of Helsingor in Denmark, where Kronborg Castle still stands. The ghost tells Hamlet that his brother Claudius poured poison into his ear as he slept in his orchard, then married the widowed queen.
To test the story, Hamlet has a troupe of visiting players act out a murder in front of the king and calls the play The Mousetrap. He stabs Polonius through the arras. Ophelia hands out rosemary for remembrance and pansies for thoughts, and later drowns in a brook beneath a willow. In the last scene Laertes fights with a poisoned blade, the queen drinks from a cup holding a poisoned pearl, and Fortinbras of Norway walks in to find the court dead.
