Hamlet

by William Shakespeare

Translated by François Guizot

"Hamlet" by William Shakespeare is a tragedy written between 1599 and 1601. Set in Denmark, the play follows Prince Hamlet as he seeks revenge against his uncle Claudius, who murdered Hamlet's father to seize the throne and marry Hamlet's mother. When a ghost reveals the truth of the murder, Hamlet must navigate madness, betrayal, and moral uncertainty while plotting his vengeance. Widely considered one of the greatest plays ever written, it remains among the most powerful tragedies in English literature.
