Hamlet

When a murdered king's ghost demands revenge, a young prince must confront a terrible truth.



In Hamlet, William Shakespeare tells the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark, whose life is shattered when the ghost of his murdered father reveals a shocking secret. Confronted with the possibility that his uncle Claudius committed the murder and seized the throne, Hamlet becomes consumed by questions of revenge, justice, and truth.



As Hamlet struggles to decide how—and whether—to act, his relationships with Ophelia, Gertrude, Horatio, and Claudius become increasingly complicated. His calculated behavior and apparent madness create a web of suspicion and deception that ultimately leads toward tragedy.



Shakespeare explores enduring themes of revenge, betrayal, corruption, madness, mortality, grief, ambition, love, and moral uncertainty. Hamlet's famous reflections on existence and death have made the play one of the most studied and influential works in world literature.



First performed around the beginning of the seventeenth century, Hamlet remains Shakespeare's most celebrated tragedy and one of the defining works of English drama.
