"Hamlet" is a tragedy by William Shakespeare that explores themes of revenge, madness, and existential inquiry. The story follows Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who is distraught over his father’s death and his mother's swift remarriage to his uncle, Claudius. When the ghost of Hamlet’s father reveals that he was murdered by Claudius, Hamlet is consumed by a quest for vengeance. His internal struggles lead him into a spiral of feigned madness, betrayal, and tragedy, ultimately resulting in the downfall of nearly all the central characters. The play questions notions of morality, truth, and the human condition. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
