| Summary | "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark" by William Shakespeare is a tragic play written during the late 16th or early 17th century. The narrative centers on the character of Prince Hamlet, who grapples with profound themes of revenge, madness, mortality, and the complexity of human emotion following the death of his father and his mother's hasty remarriage to his uncle, Claudius. At the start of the play, the setting is established at the castle of Elsinore in Denmark, where sentinels witness the appearance of a ghost resembling the late King Hamlet. They enlist the scholar Horatio to confirm its existence. The ghost beckons to Hamlet, leading him to discover troubling truths about his father's untimely death and the nature of his uncle's ascent to the throne. Meanwhile, we are introduced to key relationships, including Hamlet's complicated feelings toward Ophelia and his father's death, which fuel his internal conflict and existential queries that are pivotal to the unfolding tragedy.
