Plays cosist of  acts that are organised into scenes and in this case Hamlet has got 5 acys organised into a different number of scenes. The picture of the tragedy is the 18th century and there are multiple settings like Elsinor's castle in Denmar, spaced indoor and outdoor, Poloniu's house,churchyard. In particulary the setting of the first act is outdoor at the beginning and indoor in the middle and at the end.. but always in Elsinor's castle. Also the time is different, in fact at the beginning the reader can understand that is night, and then, in the second act is morning. Hamlet starts with the recording of a dialogue between two characters: Francisco and Bernardo; they are talking about the present of a ghost (murdered king's ghost).
