The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet (/ ˈ h æ m l ɪ t /), is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. It is Shakespeare's longest play.
PLOT SUMMARY. Written by William Shakespeare. Dated around 1600. Tragedy. Key characters include Hamlet, Claudius, Ophelia, Gertrude, Polonius and Laertes. Prince Hamlet of Denmark is shocked that his mother, the Queen, has married his uncle so soon after the death of his father, the King.
Hamlet by William Shakespeare was first published in 1603. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play follows Prince Hamlet as he grapples with grief, betrayal, and the pursuit of justice after the sudden death of his father, the King.
- Late at night, guards on the battlements of Denmark's Elsinore castle are met by Horatio, Prince Hamlet's friend from school. The guards describe a ghost they have seen that resembles Hamlet's father, the recently-deceased king.
