Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is the story of a young prince of medieval Denmark who returns home from a university in Germany after his father, the former king, dies. Hamlet receives a visit from his father's ghost, who tells Hamlet that he was murdered and that Hamlet must seek revenge. The culprit is Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, who has now married Hamlet's mother and taken the throne. Hamlet is not sure what to believe he tries to trick Claudius into confessing, but his plan goes wrong, and Hamlet, Claudius, and almost all of the rest of the royal family die at the end of the play.
