The story of Aeneas explains the similarities between the Greek and Roman government systems in that both forms of government had styles of government that varied from Empires to aristocracies to participatory governments.

In the story of Aeneas, we can learn about the political and social life of ancient Greece and Rome, distinguishing some similarities like the above-mentioned.
- Which characters are guessing about the behaviors of others in the first act?
- Horatio is guessing about the behavior of the soldiers (Bernardo and Francisco). he believes they are imagining things about seeing a ghost.
- Queen Gertrude is guessing that her son Hamlet is only depressed bout his father's dead.
- Hamlet is guessing that all the public displays of mourning by Claudius are fake manifestations of emotion and that he only cares about the power of being King of Denmark and the pleasure of having taken Queen Gertrude as his wife. Hamlet is also guessing that his mother does not care about King Hamlet's death and is only happy to have a new husband share her bed. Furthermore, Hamlet is initially guessing about his own grief. Something bothers him enormously about the whole situation. He distrusts Claudius viscerally yet he is also uncertain of his own thoughts and emotions and even contemplates suicide. When he meets the Ghost he does not immediately accept the Ghost's accusation but decides to put King Claudius under surveillance and find out the truth.
- Claudius is guessing about Hamlet's moroseness as just being infantile emotional affectation.
- Laertes is guessing about Hamlet's affection for Ophelia to be just plain lust disguised as love.
- Polonius also thinks that Hamlet's feelings for Ophelia are only physical desire and considers that Ophelia's feelings for Hamlet are only childlish illusions.
- how are the characters testing each other?
- Horatio submits the soldiers to the production of actual evidence. He only believes them when he sees the Ghost himself. He even has the soldiers attack the ghost with spears to see if it is really a ghost.
- Being tested by Horatio, the soldiers ask him to test the Ghost since they respect him for being a scholar and they want him to use his knowledge to make sure what they have seen is not a figment of their imagination.
- Hamlet decides, after speaking with the Ghost, to test Claudius by feigning madness induced by grief, until he is able to prove or disprove the Ghost's accusations.
The entire act is a warning about how appearances can be deceiving.

I think that it is important to study history whilst you have the chance as if you done you may regret it .History gives you a wide range of opportunities careers and vocabulary.You benefit from history due to the amount you learn in it .Everything you learn is based on a certain time period which could help you in other lessons .
Without history you will not be able to understand questions about time periods in your GCSE as they won’t become clear .The two questions are how do we know that all of these events happened as we don’t have much evidence
