Summary

"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1599 and 1601. Prince Hamlet of Denmark seeks revenge against his uncle Claudius, who murdered Hamlet's father to seize the throne and marry Hamlet's mother. When a ghost reveals the truth of his father's death, Hamlet must navigate a treacherous court filled with spies, betrayal, and moral uncertainty. Considered one of the most powerful tragedies in the English language, this tale of vengeance and madness remains endlessly compelling. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
