The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark is a misfortunate tale by William Shakespeare. Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play sensationalizes the retribution Prince Hamlet demands on his uncle Claudius for killing King Hamlet, Claudius' sibling and Prince Hamlet's dad, and afterward prevailing to the lofty position and taking as his better half Gertrude, the old ruler's widow, and Prince Hamlet's mom. The play distinctively depicts both valid and pretended franticness - from overpowering sorrow to fuming rage - and investigates topics of bad form, vengeance, interbreeding, and moral defilement.
