Answer 2

1) In order to classify the events from hamlet according to the type of conflict they depict, you have to know the difference between external and internal conflicts. External is when a character deals with some external power (society, environment) while internal conflict is when a character has to deal with his/her own thoughts, feelings and this conflict takes place inside character's head.

2) External conflict:
-tensions between Hamlet and Claudius (conflict with another character)
-Hamlet's duel with Laertes (the same)
Internal:
-Hamlet's contemplation of suicide (internal fight)
-Hamlet's frustration with his inability to act. (overwhelmed by own thoughts)
