William Shakespeare’s plays may have been written over 400 years ago, but the themes, characters, and lessons found in the plays are still relevant today. Shakespeare tapped into the psychology of human beings and explored stories in both genres of Tragedy and Comedy. Hamlet is one of the most taught Shakespeare works and is considered one of the greatest tragedies in all of literature.
The play explores the struggles of the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet, who is seeking revenge in the aftermath of his father’s death. The play delves into the themes of revenge, including the causes and consequences of acting upon it, morality, and the choosing of doing what’s right over what’s wrong, and madness.
