Who is the protagonist of the play "Hamlet"?

  1. Gertrude

  2. Laertes

  3. Polonius

  4. Hamlet

The correct answer is: Hamlet

The protagonist refers to the main character of the play, and in this case, it is Hamlet. Gertrude, Laertes, and Polonius are all important characters in the play, but they do not have as significant a role as Hamlet. Gertrude is the queen and Hamlet's mother, while Laertes and Polonius are minor characters who serve as foils to Hamlet. Therefore, they cannot be considered the protagonist.
