Hamlet's first and most significant misfortune is his father's death. When the play begins, he is still deep in mourning as a result of the loss of his beloved father, the old King Hamlet. His next misfortune is that his mother remarries so quickly that Hamlet feels she has betrayed his father, especially because the person she marries is actually his father's brother, Hamlet's uncle, Claudius. This makes Hamlet angry at his mother, especially on behalf of his dead father because it feels like even more of a betrayal of the deceased king. Next, Hamlet sees the ghost of his father, and the ghost charges him with the responsibility of exacting revenge on Claudius because, as it turns out, Claudius actually murdered Hamlet's father. After this, Hamlet loses his girlfriend, Ophelia, who he seems to genuinely have been in love with, and then she dies. He also loses his friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, thinking that they were part of a plot to have him killed; he arranges for their deaths. He also watches his mother die, accidentally poisoned, in front of him. In addition, Hamlet's final misfortune would be the loss of his own life in the duel with Laertes.
