What does cladius arrange to happen to Hamlet when he arrives in England?
King Claudius believes that Hamlet is a threat to him because Hamlet killed Polonius, who was hiding behind the curtains and Hamlet and actually thought it was Claudius. Claudius feels threatened and in danger by Hamlets behavior and as a precaution sends him to England, where Claudius also sends a letter to kill Hamlet upon arrival in England.
Discuss Hamlet as a Savior of Denmark?
Hamlet's role in Denmark's future is that he leads to the dissolving of the current governing by the deceptive murderer Claudius and his being replaced by Fortinbras who brings peace and stability back to Denmark.
How is Hamlet killed in the play Hamlet?
Hamlet is killed in Act 5, scene 2 when Laertes cuts him with a poisoned blade. Hamlet's Uncle Claudius has convinced Hamlet to duel Laertes and has supplied Laertes with the poisoned blade that kills Hamlet.
Who is corrupt in Hamlet?
He isn't. Oh, he is not innocent, since he did in fact murder his brother in order to steal away his wife. But his administration is not corrupt, at least at the start of the play. He deals with the threat of Fortinbras efficiently and prudently; everybody seems to be happy with the job he is doing as king. Everyone except Hamlet, of course. Hamlet hates Claudius, even before he meets the ghost. Whether it's because he expected to succeed his father as king, or he has the usual feeling of a stepchild to a step parent or both, nothing Claudius does can be right in Hamlet's eyes. When Claudius maintains the honoured custom of Denmark, Hamlet sneers "'tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance." In many productions, the director creates a Claudius who is just how Hamlet imagines him to be--licentious and alcoholic. Sometimes, though, the director shows that Hamlet is unbalanced, and can even go to the length of implying that what the ghost says to Hamlet is in fact what Hamlet hopes the ghost will say by having the actor playing Hamlet also voice the Ghost. However on the face of the play itself, there is no particular reason to think that Claudius is a corrupt king until Hamlet sets the kingdom on its ear by killing Claudius's chief counsellor and causing disturbances at theatrical performances. The problem of dealing with Hamlet, both for his own safety and the safety of the kingdom, increasingly occupies Claudius's thoughts as the play proceeds. In Kenneth Branagh's film of the play, he has Fortinbras leading a full-blown invasion of Denmark, which the whole royal court is too distracted to even notice until it is too late. One of the factors in Shakespeare's mind was likely the question of succession to the throne. As Queen Elizabeth had no children, many people became worried as she neared death about whether she would be succeeded in an orderly way. During her lifetime she had been threatened by those who wanted to replace her with Mary Queen of Scots, and her sister had been threatened by the pretender Lady Jane Grey. To the Elizabethan mind, the proper person to succeed Hamlet Sr. would be Hamlet, and Claudius was an usurper. Part of the theme of the play (as in other Shakespeare plays such as Macbeth, the eight plays in the War of the Roses cycle, and Julius Caesar) is that to disturb the passage of power to the heir is to cause an unstable political situation. In this sense the adminsistration of Claudius might have been seen to be corrupt just because he was the king's brother, not his son.
Whats the difference between Hamlet's and Ophelia's madness?
Ophelia is really mad as in she is truly insane; today she would be institutionalized. Hamlet is mad, but not in the crazy sense. After hearing what the Ghost tells him, he is mad at Claudius and his Mother for betraying him and his father. To conceal the fact that he knows Claudius killed his father, he acts mad to everyone around him so that he doesn't seem like a threat to Claudius. His goal is to be mad enough that he isn't institutionalized, but still be able to get away with his weird behavior.

Would the king rather have Hamlet stay at Elsinore or return to Wittenberg?
Well, I must first of all say that my statement is of my own interpretation of the story. However, it may be possible that Claudius was planning on killing off Hamlet (or at least spy on him) from the very beginning. By looking at Claudius's personality, namely his willingness to kill for power, it can be implied that Claudius is fearful of loosing his power in the same way. Of all that may pose a threat to Claudius, Hamlet seems to be the most likely threat as he is in direct line to the throne (after all why not kill off the king and become the new king a little ahead of schedule?). So due to Claudius's paranoid nature, it may be possible that he intended to keep Hamlet in Elsinore so that he could plot to get rid of him.
