Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a tragedy that tells the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark, who is driven by revenge after the ghost of his father reveals that he was murdered by Hamlet’s uncle, Claudius. As Hamlet seeks justice, he struggles with madness, morality, and the meaning of life. The play explores themes of betrayal, corruption, and the complexity of human emotion, culminating in a tragic ending where nearly all the main characters meet their deaths. It is one of Shakespeare’s most profound and enduring works.
