There is the image of sickness/disease/poison that runs all the way through the play which perhaps represents the corruption of Claudius killing his brother and the way Hamlet sees his mother as tainted and corrupted. It also ties in with the madness suffered by Hamlet and Ophelia.
Also, there are lots of images of flowers and gardens to represent order and disorder: at the beginning something is "rotten" in the state of Denmark and reference to the situation as an "unweeded garden" and it follows through the play to give the impression of constantly working towards an type of order and stability.
will add any if i can think of more... hope this helps :-)

Who did Claudius bet on for the fight between Hamlet and Laertes?
Hamlet. Osric says, "The King, sir, has laid, sir, that in a dozen passes between yourself and him he shall not exceed you three hits." The "him" and "he" is Laertes. This is a point-spread bet. The king is betting that in twelve exchanges Laertes will not have a score three or more higher than Hamlet's. If Laertes hits Hamlet three more times than Hamlet hits him, Laertes wins, if he only hits him two more times than Hamlet does, the King wins. Laertes' reputation has given rise to these odds, but everyone seems to have underestimated Hamlet. Although the match ends after three exchanges, at that point the score is Hamlet 2, Laertes nil.
