Hamlet. It's Shakespeare's longest play, and Hamlet talks for 37% of it.
Whenever Hamlet talks about a villain, he's talking about his uncle King Claudius. He's often unwilling to accuse him directly and pretends he's talking in generalities about how everyone's evil. But Claudius is definitely the villain of the piece.
In the play, it's true that he does both.
Director's call. Claudius seems well-disposed to Hamlet at the start, but faced with Hamlet's insane (but not really insane) behaviour and the murder of Claudius's chief counsellor (a murder in which Claudius correctly identifies himself as the intended victim) his disposition towards him sours. Understandably so. By Act 4 he has decided that Hamlet must be killed because he's too darn dangerous. "Do it, England, for like the hectic in my blood he rages, and thou must cure me."
Hamlet wonders if anyone will still love him after he has died right after he does his speech to Yorick's skull and ponders what happens after death. "Hamlet" is a play by William Shakespeare.
