I think the king is. He murdered his own brother but everyone thinks he is so amazing.

Will

I agree

I agree, he has fooled everyone and that only adds to the deception.

I’m not sure if everyone thinks he’s so amazing but yeah he does murder his brother in cold blood.

I think Hamlet is the most deceptive character. He is constantly plotting and scheming against his uncle. One of the most notable scenes is when he asks Horatio to observe Claudius during the play to see his reaction to the murder scene.

I too said that Hamlet is the most deceptive.

I think Hamlet is the most deceptive because he is the one attempting to destroy his uncle. Many people are lying to others in the play but Hamlet is the only one premeditating all of this.

I think The king/uncle/dad guy is the most deceptive. He killed hamlets dad and then took over the throne and is with his sister in law/wife/queen. It’s a messed up but interesting story

Cherish

The king could easily be the most deceptive.

Aimee

“Messed up but interesting” should be my new Instagram bio.

To me, Hamlet is the most deceptive. I say this because he has a way of tricking every one as to whether he loves Ophelia or not. He tells people he loves her, but then tries to trick her into believing that he never got her the gifts.

Kayla

1/30/2019 10:07:56 am

That is true

Katelyn

1/30/2019 10:09:06 am

Hamlet definitely has a way with tricking others since discovering the truth.

Brandon Westfall

1/30/2019 10:12:48 am

I said the same thing.

Will

I think that Claudius is the most deceptive character because he acts like he cares about his brother and his nephew but in reality he just wants the power that comes with being the king.

Sarah

1/30/2019 10:09:25 am

Yeah his whole life is a lie at this point.

Jennifer Auwen

In my opinion Claudius is the most deceptive character. He assasinated his own brother just for his benefit so that he could become king. He betrayes others to gain more power.

Kiana Farnworth

1/30/2019 10:08:21 am

I agree.

Aimee

1/30/2019 10:09:04 am

Wow! What a not nice guy! Great point!

Sarah

1/30/2019 10:11:52 am

Not only that but he made himself out to be the good guy and he has no intention of giving up the charade. Hamlet is lying but only to uncover his uncles secret.

Hailey Jo

1/30/2019 10:14:49 am

Agreed, he does what we needs to get power

Katelyn

1/30/2019 10:06:56 am

The uncle is the most deceptive because as apart of the dramatic irony, the reader knows the truth. He committed a crime to Hamlet’s father and easily hid it until Hamlet found out, making him appear innocent to others.

Joe

1/30/2019 10:07:02 am

I think the king is the most deceptive he puts on a nice guy show to the public when he’s actually a killer.

Kayla

1/30/2019 10:08:27 am

Yeah

Jennifer

1/30/2019 10:11:00 am

Nick

1/30/2019 10:11:41 am

Good response.

Kiana Farnworth

1/30/2019 10:07:06 am

I think the King is the most deceptive character because he was able to kill his brother, steal the throne and his brother’s wife and no one blinked an eye.

Hailey Jo

1/30/2019 10:14:01 am

I thought it was a tie between Hamlet and the King! But you have me leaning more towards the King now.

Brenna

1/30/2019 10:14:41 am

I agree, I don’t know why people didn’t suspect anything.

Connor

1/30/2019 10:07:12 am

Claudius, because he is lieing to everyone about killing his brothers so he could be king while using his powers as king to have many of his subjects spy on Hamlet for him.

Nutt

Spying on your kin is pretty deceptive.

Sarah

1/30/2019 10:07:46 am

I think the king is. He murdered his brother. After that he stole his brothers life. He took the throne and his brothers wife and he smiled at everyone while he did it.

Katelyn

1/30/2019 10:09:56 am

His deception works because he makes people believe in him.

Nutt

1/30/2019 10:12:31 am

That is pretty deceptive.

Saymen

1/30/2019 10:08:17 am

I think the King is a deceptive character because he makes people do his job and watch the result behind them.

Nick

1/30/2019 10:11:07 am

Nice.

Robyn

Although Claudius is one of the top contenders, I actually think the Queen may be the most deceptive. The Queen likely knows that Claudius killed her ex-husband, if not helped him in the matter. She was also likely already having an affair with Claudius before the king died. She acts, or at least tells Hamlet that she is sad about his father’s death, but doesn’t seem bothered in the least. She also acts sad and offended when Hamlet is insinuating that Claudius killed his father.

Brenna

1/30/2019 10:17:21 am

If she did know about the kings death she’s doing a good job pretending not to know about it.

Nutt

1/30/2019 10:09:36 am

I say Hamlet is the most deceptive. His act of madness is a huge form of deception that is used to draw attention away from his suspicious plan to prove that Claudius killed his father. It’s one big deception.

Nick

1/30/2019 10:10:41 am

I think that Claudius is the most deceptive character. He acts like he cares about his brother and nephew but doesn’t then assasinates his brother.

James

1/30/2019 10:11:52 am

The king is the most deceptive character in Hamlet. He is constantly deceiving people about killing his own brother.

Connor

1/30/2019 10:12:42 am

Fascinating

Hailey Jo

1/30/2019 10:12:51 am

I believe Hamlet is the most deceptive in this play. He’s doing his best to bring his uncle down but he’s prethinking everything.

Brenna

1/30/2019 10:12:58 am

I think the new king, Claudius, is the most deceptive character. He killed his brother, married his brother’s wife and became king. He pretends to be an amazing person and no one know what he did.
