Hamlet (2009) Shakespeare Full Fandub Film
AvicusKing for Claudius (Hamlet's Uncle) & The Ghost
[THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE ROLES, PORTRAYED BY THE SAME ACTOR]
The King of Denmark, Hamlet’s uncle, and the play’s antagonist. The villain of the play, Claudius is a calculating, ambitious politician, driven by his sexual appetites and his lust for power, but he occasionally shows signs of guilt and human feeling—his love for Gertrude, for instance, seems sincere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The specter of Hamlet’s recently deceased father. The Ghost, who claims to have been murdered by Claudius, calls upon Hamlet to avenge him. However, it is not entirely certain whether the Ghost is what it appears to be, or whether it is something else. Hamlet speculates that the Ghost might be a devil sent to deceive him and tempt him into murder, and the question of what the Ghost is or where it comes from is never definitively resolved.

Oh, my offence is rank. It smells to Heaven. It hath the primal eldest curse upon ’t, A brother’s murder.
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below. Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
(The Ghost): Now, Hamlet, hear. 'Tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard, A serpent stung me. So the whole ear of Denmark Is by a forged process of my death Rankly abus'd. But know, thou noble youth, The serpent that did sting thy father's life Now wears his crown.
