Hamlet

Book • 1603
The play revolves around Prince Hamlet's journey to avenge his father's murder, which was committed by his uncle Claudius.

Hamlet's father's ghost appears and reveals that he was poisoned by Claudius, who then married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude.

Hamlet feigns madness while he investigates and plots his revenge.

The play explores themes of betrayal, mortality, and the human condition, culminating in a tragic finale where nearly all main characters die, including Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, and several others.
