I'm guessing that's not the answer you're looking for, but I'm not sure how else that could be answered.

Thinking logically, normally the wrong thing to do with riddles

Straying too far from the logical answer has so far proven to be a poor choice as well.

Maybe the thing that is rotten is the nobility and royalty, and "Heaven will direct it" is that they resort to greed and warfare to get closer to god.
OR "Heaven" is the church and they are also greedy.

In a very famous play the actors say "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" and "Heaven will direct it". What do those actors refer to?

From Hamlet, Horatio and Marcellus are discussing whether they should follow Hamlet or not.  "Let’s follow. 'Tis not fit thus to obey him." "Have after. To what issue will this come?" Horatio is asking Marcellus what it all means, and where it all ends.  To which Marcellus responds "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" which is referring to the whole situation, and how Hamlet's imagination is making him crazy.  Horatio responds "Heaven will direct it" or "we should let god take care of it."  Marcellus decides against this and says "Nay, let's follow him."

tl;dr they are talking about Hamlet himself.

see the hint please

God damn it!

mhhhhh

ok enough with that.

dust is his sword with which he killed the old man?

[F i n]

And i still think they refer to the catholics.

No! Dust are the the peasants. The poorest of the poor. Cus they both share the same fait in death.

Truth!

so the hint kind of is the answer. Its about a REAL life! with no lies (the ghost tells hamlet the truth about his fathers death)

Huuuuweeeee. please dont say -1

[Artyem]

Does it perhaps have to do with the fact that the king was murdered by his own brother?  And that so quickly afterwards the Queen was already married?  Or maybe the King's corrupting influence upon Denmark.


It's not clear what definition you are looking for, you say the real life reference but what is that supposed to mean?   Historically it would refer to the corruption of the royal house, how a Monarchy is the epitome of corrupted, violent, selfishness.  The greed portrayed in the murder of King Hamlet, by his own brother.  Who then took the throne and only two months later married the Queen.

Therefore, I can only conclude in this post that the phrase "There is something rotten in the state of Denmark" is meant to convey corruption.

tl;dr There is an injustice being perpetuated in the Danish Royal House.

hm.... i'll write a hint tomorrow if anyone gets it today

[BD_Baby_Wolf]

Wild guess, but is it referring to the Eighty Years' War and the reemergence of the Dutch Republic? Hamlet was written amongst this period and there was great doubt whether the various States and States generals could work together.  After a while, the government would prove itself worthy thus "Heaven has directed it" but that was after the play was written (or speculated to have been written).

no

Wouldn't that be somewhat useless? Why'd a guy need a hint if he'd already solved the puzzle?
