Hamlet

by William Shakespeare from 1623

About

Prince Hamlet of Denmark is visited by his father's ghost, who reveals he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius—now king and married to Hamlet's mother Gertrude. Paralysed by doubt and grief, Hamlet delays his revenge as the court around him deteriorates into treachery, madness, and death.
