Hamlet

Description

Hamlet is quite possibly the world’s most well-known play. Written around the turn of the 17th century by the Bard himself, and soon becoming one of the most performed tragedies of all time, Hamlet has enjoyed extensive re-adaptation and analysis throughout the ages, becoming more talked about and, in many ways, more warped through various other productions and publications than any of Shakespeare’s other works.

This is the faithful portrayal of the story of Hamlet, as it was first written by William Shakespeare. The complex plot, the Bard’s majestic use of 16th century English and the remarkable dramatic value that the play has, both as an enacted tragedy and as a published work, has caused many scholars to commend it as one of the best editions of Hamlet.

The plot talks about Danish Prince Hamlet who seeks revenge on his uncle for the murder of Hamlet’s father, King Hamlet. After killing his own brother in order to take over the throne, Hamlet’s uncle Claudius hastily marries his dead brother’s widow, Gertrude, giving rise to the foundation of a detailed, complex series of events which show the psychological, ethical and philosophical implications of revenge, cold-blooded murder, political intrigue, and Hamlet’s own unconscious desires that have been actively analyzed by experts throughout the past few centuries.

Hamlet was inspired by the Danish legend of Amleth, preserved by Saxo Grammaticus – a 13th century chronicler. Despite this fact, and despite the story’s complete organization and editing, achieved by Shakespeare three centuries later, but still more than four centuries ago, the tale of Hamlet’s tragedy still feels entirely genuine and fitting to modern times.
