Hamlet

by William Shakespeare

Hamlet, a young prince of Denmark, is in mourning over the death of his father when he is told of the extraordinary appearance of the late king's ghost. When Hamlet goes to see for himself, the ghostly apparition tells him his uncle Claudius murdered the king before seizing the crown for himself. Hamlet vows vengeance, setting off a chain of events that pulls Gertrude (his mother, and now wife of Claudius), Ophelia (Hamlet's true love), the villainous Claudius and everyone in their orbit into a maelstrom of madness and revenge. this culminates in a final confrontation just as Denmark faces war from the invading forces of General Fortinbras of Norway.
