Detailed explanation-1: -Prince Hamlet is the title character and protagonist of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet (1599–1601). He is the Prince of Denmark, nephew to the usurping Claudius, and son of King Hamlet, the previous King of Denmark.
Detailed explanation-2: -It seems like his frustration towards his indecisiveness and inability to act can boil over at times, as well, which causes Hamlet to act impulsively. All of this makes Hamlet both the play’s protagonist and an antagonist as well.
Detailed explanation-3: -The protagonist of the tragedy, Hamlet is a beloved prince and a thoughtful, melancholy young man. Distraught by his father’s death, Hamlet is only made more depressed by his uncle Claudius’ succession to the throne and his subsequent marriage to his mother.
Detailed explanation-4: -King Claudius is the main antagonist, or rival to the protagonist, of Hamlet. He becomes king after he murders his elder brother and marries his brother’s widow, Gertrude, in a marriage that was seen as incestuous at the time. Thus, Claudius is both Hamlet’s uncle and his stepfather.
