| has gloss | eng: :See also Hamlet: Stage and screen adaptations William Shakespeares Hamlet is a tragedy, believed written between 1599 and 1601. It tells the story of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark—who takes revenge on the current king (Hamlets uncle) for killing the previous king (Hamlets father) and for marrying his fathers widow (Hamlets mother)—and it charts the course of his real or feigned madness. Hamlet is the longest play—and Hamlet is the largest part—in the entire Shakespeare canon. Critics say that Hamlet "offers the greatest exhibition of Shakespeares powers". |
