The dust symbolizes dirt, filth, wretchedness.  The body, which is being mentioned in the quote, is a kin to the wretched filthiness and dirt that is the dust.

My best guess for that one, while I contemplate what's rotten in the state of Denmark.

"Compounded it with dust whereto 'tis kin"
could it be that the dust is ashe from the dead body of Polonius?

Perhaps it has to do with the spiritual thought that the body was mixed in with the dust, which is the dirt or the earth, where he originally formed.  As someone else (incorrectly) stated, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, the body is now one with the earth again.

Or could the dust be what's left of the stability of the Kingdom, after the murder of the King and the scandalous marriage of the Queen to the Murderer himself.  Polonius is part of the downfall, a piece of the corruption and is kin with the dust that is the Danish Kingdom?

(literature) 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?
(click to show/hide)
I don't care for the money or if my answer is not accurate enough but I will just try to solve this:

They might refer to the rotten moral in Denmark and only God who is in the hierarchy above kings can direct it as the royal house has lost any sense of decency throught out intrigues in the family.

The hint is also the ghost that is pulling Hamlet to him (The scence where the quote appears). As he's being lead by a ghost it indicates that his ratio and thus his moral not to follow the ghost is broken and the passio took him over.

All in all the lost sense of moral in the royal house is leading the rotten image of Denmark.

I have read the hint already, duh. Still I do not know what reference you're searching for. Anyway I will be even more surprised then what the answer will be if not moral or anything similar.

Main: The -actors- themselves may refer below to Claudius who parties all night, keeping the wine flowing, and for whom trumpets sound to celebrate his drinking down all his wine at once. By refer I mean the players of the parts may employ visual cues or whatnot, to give the audience a hint of foreshadowing.

As for heaven directing it, they may refer to the gone off ghost (of a divine ruler, Hamlet's father) who has taken Hamlet's attention.
However, since kings ruled by divine right (even though Claudius was elected) they may refer again to Claudius off below, who acts less than devastated by his brother's death. Drinking so heartily that it has become a national fashion, and taking as queen his brother's widow, Claudius is in a sense working against his own agenda by enjoying his acquired position too much. As such, he could be seen to be inadvertently directing Hamlet to come to see the truth.


bonus 4: Yorick was meant to draw allusion to Richard Tarlton, an Elizabethan comedian who had been dead for reals, about as long as Yorick was in the play.
