The parts of the plot from "Hamlet" are the following:

Rising action : Hamlet seeks to determine his uncle’s guilt .

The rising action refers to a series of events which later lead to the point of greatest interest. In the play, Hamlet is thoughtful about finding out Claudius' participation in his father's death.

Inciting incident: A ghost tells hamlet that Claudius murdered his father .

An inciting incident catches the reader's attention into the story. In this case, the protagonist's father's ghost makes an appearance to tell him that his own brother -and Hamlet's uncle- has killed him.

Climax : Hamlet accidentally murders Polonius .

The climax is the most nerve-racking part of the story. In the play, Hamlet kills Polonius unintentionally, believing it was Claudius hiding behind some curtains

Falling action : Fortinbras invades Denmark .

The falling action of a story comes after the climax, when the main problem is resolved. In "Hamlet," Fortinbras leads an army towards Denmark to claim his late father's territory.
