ACT I:
The Ghost and Bernardo, Francisco, Horatio - it's not exactly a conflict, but there is much tension between the armed Ghost and the present men, as they don't know who he is and what he wants from them.
Denmark and Norway - we learn from Horatio about this conflict. The old king Hamlet fought Fortinbras, the old king of Norway, and killed him. Now the young Fortinbras wants revenge.
Claudius and young Hamlet - even in the second scene, we see that Hamlet doesn't like his uncle and his marriage with Gertrude. Claudius even wants to send Hamlet away.
Gertrude and Hamlet - Hamlet still doesn't suspect that his father was murdered, but he still loathes his own mother because of the inappropriate marriage with her brother-in-law, only weeks after her husband's death.
Laertes and Polonius are suspicious toward Hamlet, as they fear he might use Ophelia and abandon her.
The Ghost and Hamlet - Hamlet goes to face the Ghost, not knowing if that is a spirit sent from Hell. It turns out to be his father. The Ghost reveals that Claudius murdered him, building up the tension between Hamlet and Claudius, as well as Hamlet and Gertrude. Hamlet now wants revenge.

ACT II
The conflict between Polonius and Hamlet is sharpening. Hamlet is acting strangely, so Polonius sends Ophelia to test him, while he is spying on them.
Hamlet's and Ophelia's relationship is affected by conflict as well. Polonius forbade Ophelia to be with Hamlet; the two still love each other, but Hamlet doesn't want to let his love distract him from pursuing the truth.
Hamlet is being sarcastic with Polonius and openly ridicules him.
Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are also sent to Hamlet to test him. He sees through their intentions and openly despises them.

which of the following will best help you organize your evidence when preparing to write an argumentative essay
Zepler [3.9K]
Have two sides to the story. for example you need an argument and a counter argument. so if you're opposing a situation then you need a basis and side of the story that expresses why you have this opposition and then another side that explains why you can see not to oppose what in fact you're opposing. So... If you were to write about abortion. weather or not you agree on t okay? so lets say you dont agree with it. ..Start with a  good thesis statement or a question or even a quote. (i Like quotes to start) and then go into why you believe that you do not agree with it. give factual evidence that you found that makes you believe in your argument that it shouldn't be allowed. and then when it comes to finishing the assay. Explain after you explain why you dont believe in it.. then explain why you believe others may think abortion should be legal and exist and that it is okay and then for your conclusion restate your thesis and your final statement. "So this is why i believe abortion should be illegal" You have to give two sides to the paper for someone to be pursued-ed with your argument and to agree with you.
