Hamlet -W. SHAKESPEARE-
summary
"Hamlet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare in the early 17th century. The
play revolves around Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who is deeply affected by the
sudden death of his father, King Hamlet. The new king, Hamlet's uncle Claudius,
quickly marries Hamlet's mother, Gertrude, adding to Hamlet's sense of betrayal and
grief.
The central theme of the play is Hamlet's internal struggle with morality, justice, and
his own indecision. The ghost of King Hamlet appears to Hamlet and reveals that he
was murdered by Claudius, urging Hamlet to seek revenge. Hamlet becomes
consumed by thoughts of revenge but is also plagued by doubts and philosophical
reflections.
As the play progresses, Hamlet's relationships with other characters, including
Ophelia (his love interest), Polonius (Ophelia's father), and Laertes (Ophelia's brother),
become increasingly complex. Hamlet's feigned madness adds to the intrigue, making
it difficult to discern his true intentions.
Ultimately, a series of tragic events unfold, leading to a final confrontation between
Hamlet and various characters, including Laertes and Claudius. The play concludes
with a dramatic and fatal resolution that leaves the Danish court in disarray.
