"Hamlet" is one of William Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, centered around Prince Hamlet of Denmark. After the mysterious death of his father, Hamlet is visited by his father's ghost, who reveals that he was murdered by Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. Consumed by grief and a desire for revenge, Hamlet feigns madness while he grapples with existential questions about life, death, and morality. As he plots to expose Claudius’s guilt, the court descends into chaos, leading to a tragic series of events that ultimately culminate in death and devastation for nearly all the main characters. The play explores themes of betrayal, revenge, and the complexity of the human condition. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
