Description The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet exacts on his uncle Claudius for murdering King Hamlet, Claudius's brother and Prince Hamlet's father, and then succeeding to the throne and taking as his wife Gertrude, the old king's widow and Prince Hamlet's mother. The play vividly portrays both true and feigned madness—from overwhelming grief to seething rage—and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. Hamlet is Shakespeare's longest play and among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature, with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others." The play was one of Shakespeare's most popular works during his lifetime and still ranks among his most-performed, topping the Royal Shakespeare Company's performance list since 1879. It has inspired writers from Goethe and Dickens to Joyce and Murdoch, and has been described as "the world's most filmed story after Cinderella" Characters Hamlet – Son of the late King, and nephew of the present King Claudius – King of Denmark, and Hamlet's uncle Gertrude – Queen of Denmark, and mother to Hamlet Polonius – Lord Chamberlain Ophelia – Daughter to Polonius Horatio – Friend to Hamlet Laertes – Son to Polonius Voltimand and Cornelius – Courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern – Courtiers, friends to Hamlet Osric – a Courtier Marcellus – an Officer Bernardo – an Officer Francisco – a Soldier Reynaldo – Servant to Polonius Ghost of Hamlet's Father Fortinbras – Prince of Norway Gravediggers – a Sexton, and a clown Player King, Player Queen, Lucianus, etc. – Players Related Torrents
