About this book

"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 resembling the dead king reveals the truth of his murder, Hamlet vows vengeance but struggles with uncertainty and madness—both feigned and possibly real. As he orchestrates a play to expose Claudius's guilt, the prince navigates a treacherous court where loyalty is questionable and death looms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
