Gertrude murdered Ophelia.
She seems to know an awful lot about Ophelia's death - before, during and after it happened. She also doesn't seem that upset. Hmm.
Hamlet is Claudius's illegitimate son.
Hamlet is a robot.
Built by Hamlet Sr., he struggles to understand humans.
Ophelia is pregnant.
Not so much WMG as very strongly hinted...
Horatio is making this whole thing up.
He actually killed everyone. Possibly driven mad by all the angst.
Horatio is a spy for Fortinbras.
He has been secretly manipulating things at court to make Fortinbras's takeover smoother. He pretended he was going to drink the poison because he truly liked Hamlet and wanted Hamlet to still think of him as a friend before Hamlet died. This leaves Horatio alive at the end to report to Fortinbras everything that has happened.
Hamlet and Horatio are lovers.
"Give me that man / That is not passion's slave, and i will wear him / In my heart's core, aye, in my heart of hearts / As I do thee. " - Act 3 Scene 2, 71-74
