Hamlet- Begonia, Daffodil, Orange Mock, Petunia = These flowers relate to Hamlet because Begonias represent deep thoughts as he is confirming his suspicions, Daffodils represent his unrequited love for Ophelia in the start of the play, Orange Mocks the deceit he creates through his madness, and Petunias for the anger he harbors towards women in the play.
Claudius- Crown Imperial, Yellow Hyacinth, Lavender, Stargazer = The Crown Imperial represents Claudius' majesty and power as king, the Hyacinth his jealousy of his brother's position as king, Lavender is his distrust of Hamlet and his actions, and Stargazer his ambition to become king.
Gertrude- Jonquil, Red Rose, Acacia = The Jonquil represents Gertrude's desire, the Red Rose her passionate love, and Acacia for her concealed love
Ophelia- Orange Blossom, Carolina Rose, Absinth, Anemone = The Orange Blossom is Ophelia's innocence throughout most of the play, Carolina Rose represents the danger in love as she is mentally split between her love for Hamlet and filial loyalty to Polonius, Absinth the torment that she suffers from trying to reciprocate Hamlet's love, and Anemone is her feeling of abandonment after Hamlet yells at her and he rejects his love for her.

Sonnet
The castle Elsinore with spies about
Searching for conspiracies or dark crimes
In Hamlet's quest he begins to have doubts
About the charge from the ghost seen three times
Claudius tries to sort out this madness
That drives Hamlet's irrationality
That propels Ophelia to sadness
This spying leads to sad fatalities
These spies moved to act begin to suffer
Now to the reaper they shall all defer

Barnyard Hamlet
Act I Scene i
Enter Barnardo and Francisco
Barnardo: Who's there?
Francisco: Bernardo. You come most carefully upon your hour.
Barnardo: Well, good night.
Exit Francisco. Enter Horatio, Marcellus.
Marcellus: Holla, Bernardo
Horatio: What, has this thing appeared again tonight?
Enter Ghost
Marcellus: Look where it comes again.
Horatio: By Heaven, I charge thee, speak. Stay and Speak!
Barnardo: 'Tis here.
Exit Ghost
Marcellus: 'Tis gone
Horatio: Let us impart what we have seen tonight unto young Hamlet.
They Exit
Barnardo, Marcellus, Francisco- Dogs- because they are the guards that guard the castle and the people inside like dgos who protect and watch over the other farm animals
Horatio- Rabbit- because Horatio is quick to deny this ghost and quick to suggest Hamlet to speak to it after the ghost leaves
Act I Scene ii
Enter Claudius, Gertrude, Polonius, Laertes, Hamlet, Voltemand, Cornelius
King: You, good Cornelius, and you, Voltemand, For bearers of this greeting to old Norway.
Cornelius/Voltemand: In that and all things will we show our duty.
Exit Cornelius and Voltemand
King: And now, Laertes, what's the news with you?
Laertes: My dread lord, Your leave and favor to return to France.
Polonius: Upon his will I sealed my hard consent.
King: Take thy fair hour, Laertes. But now, my cousin Hamlet and my son. How is it that the cloudsstill hang on you?
Hamlet: Not so, my Lord; I am too much in the sun.
Queen: Why seems it particular with thee?
Hamlet: "Seems," madam? Nay it is. I know not "seems."
All but Hamlet Exit. Enter Horatio, Marcellus, Barnardo.
Horatio: Hail to your lordship
Hamlet: I am glad to see you well.
Horatio: I think I saw him yesternight. The King your father.
Hamlet: But where was this?
Marcellus: Upon the platform where we watch.
Hamlet: If it assume my father's person I'll speak to it. Let it be tenable in your silence.
All: Our duty to your honor.
All Exit
Claudius, Hamlet, Gertrude- Horses- because horses are the most majestic animal on the farm
Polonius- Bull- Bulls have a sense of pride like Polonius and do things for their self interest
Cornelius and Voltemand- Ducks- because they are the messengers for Claudius and only farm animal that can fly
Laertes- Cat- Cats look like very smart animals like Laertes is.
