Hamlet

Hamlet

 

This tragedy full of famous soliloquies begins with the ghost of Hamlet's father calling for revenge. The play follows Hamlet as seeks to discover if indeed his father was murdered by the man who married his mother and became King. Another court family, Polonius, and his children Laertes and Ophelia, all die, two by Hamlet's sword. Ophelia carries a bouquet of flowers that she names as she wanders madly through court to her watery death. In the end the main characters are all dead and an external ruler enters to restore order.
