Synopsis

The king of Denmark, who is Hamlet’s father, suddenly dies. The late king’s younger brother, Claudius, marries Hamlet’s mother, Queen Gertrude, and now succeeds to the Danish throne. Hamlet, deeply saddened by his father’s death and his mother’s remarriage, hears from Horatio that the ghost of Hamlet’s father appears. Hamlet goes to see the ghost and it tells Hamlet the truth about his father’s death, that Claudius poisoned him, and that Hamlet must never forgive his uncle.
Hamlet, in his anguish, decides to feign madness and find out the truth. Fearing that Hamlet is a threat to his life, Claudius devises a plot to murder him…
