“Hamlet” is a timeless tragedy of revenge, madness, and betrayal. After the sudden death of his father, Prince Hamlet is visited by the ghost of the late king, who reveals a chilling truth: he was murdered by his own brother, Claudius, who has now seized both the throne and Hamlet’s mother, Queen Gertrude. Torn between duty and despair, Hamlet struggles with grief, feigned insanity, and the burden of vengeance. His erratic behavior devastates Ophelia, the woman he loves, while his mistrust of Gertrude deepens the play’s portrait of fractured family ties. As deception spreads through the Danish court, friendships crumble, innocence is destroyed, and elaborate plots drive the story toward a final, fatal duel. With its ghostly visitations, razor-sharp wit, and haunting conclusion, “Hamlet” endures as Shakespeare’s most profound and devastating masterpiece.
