Summary "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare is a renowned tragedy written during the early 17th century. The play delves into themes of revenge, madness, moral corruption, and the complexities of human emotion, with the central character being the young Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who grapples with the murder of his father and seeks to avenge his death. The opening of "Hamlet" sets the stage with a ghostly apparition of the deceased King, fraying the already tense atmosphere of Elsinore. The scene begins with guards on watch who discuss a ghostly figure that resembles the King, leading to intrigue and fear. When Hamlet sees the ghost, it reveals that he has been murdered by Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, who has now taken the throne and married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. This revelation ignites Hamlet's quest for revenge and sparks the complex interplay of love, madness, and betrayal that unfolds throughout the play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
