Try actually concentrating while reading Hamlet,you will see every character uses a certain style & tone while talking to different people that will make them easily recognisable in the long run and help you're general understanding of the theme.

I see the imminent death of twenty thousand men that for a fantasy and trick of fame march to their graves like beds. Fight for a plot whereon the numbers cannot try the cause, which is not tomb enough and continent to hide the slain. Oh! From this time forth, my thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!

(Not sure if I got the quote correct, just remembering it off the top of my head. End of Fourth Act I think) :P

No, no, not spoken by Polonius; t'was the prince, as mad as the ocean, who mistook the pratting knave for his better.
