[edit] Plot
Hamlet returns to Denmark when his father, the King (also named Hamlet), dies. His mother, Gertrude, has hastily re-married. She weds with Hamlet's uncle Claudius, who becomes the new King. They urge Hamlet to marry his dearly beloved Ophelia. An spirit of Hamlet's father comes to Hamlet and claims that he was murdered by Claudius and Gertrude. The apparition wants Hamlet to avenge him, but not to harm his mother.
