Hamlet – by William Shakespeare

Hamlet is one of William Shakespeare’s most profound and widely studied tragedies. Set in the royal court of Denmark, the play follows Prince Hamlet as he grapples with the sudden death of his father, the betrayal by his mother, and the usurpation of the throne by his uncle, Claudius. Fueled by grief and driven by revenge, Hamlet’s inner turmoil unfolds in a narrative filled with philosophy, madness, and political intrigue.
