Hamlet is a play written by William Shakespeare in about 1601. It is the most famous play ever in any language in the world. The play is about a prince in Denmark who finds that his uncle has married his mother and murdered his father (but not in that order) and who has been told by the ghost of his father that he must avenge the murder by killing his uncle. Sounds straightforward, right? Except that it is much more complicated than that, and anything one person says about it someone else is sure to disagree with.
