Hamlet by William Shakespeare
QR code
"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1599 and 1601. Set in Denmark, the play follows Prince Hamlet as he grapples with his father's death and his mother's hasty remarriage to his uncle Claudius. When a ghost reveals a dark secret about murder and betrayal, Hamlet vows revenge but struggles with uncertainty and madness—both feigned and real. Considered one of the most powerful tragedies in English literature, this story of
deception, loyalty, and vengeance continues to captivate audiences centuries later. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
