This is Shakespeare's longest play, and his most famous, influential, and inspiring literary work. It is a tragic play about a prince named Hamlet who seeks revenge on his uncle Claudius, who killed his brother and usurped the throne. The play begins with the appearance of the murdered king's ghost, who asks his son to find his killer and avenge his death. The events then unfold very tragically thereafter, leading to a heartbreaking end.
