William Shakespeare wrote about thirty-seven plays and a large number of poems in his life.
The play Hamlet is considered to be the summit(顶点)of Shakespeare's. It was written in 1601—1602 and first published in 1603.
The action of the play is laid in medieval(中世纪)Denmark. The king suddenly died. Gertruder, Queen of Denmark, within two months, marries the new king, Claudius, brother of her husband.
The son of the late king, Hamlet, returns from the university, where he has received his education. Heavy is the heart of the young man. The country is in a state of unrest. There is said to be war. He thinks his father was murdered but he does not dare to tell others. One night Hamlet dreams of his father. He talks on his father, who tells his son he has been murdered by his brother Claudius. Hamlet hates the murderer very much and he decides to kill Claudius.
The struggle between Hamlet and Claudius is increasing. Claudius pays close attention to Hamlet. Hamlet pretends to have gone mad.
To expose Claudius, Hamlet thinks of a plan:a group of actors are engaged to perform a play which recalls his father's murder. When Claudius appears deeply affected by the performance and leaves the hall befor the play is ended, Hamlet knows he is right. To get rid of Hamlet, Claudius sends off Hamlet to England with his two men, who used to be Hamlet's friends and now are ordered to spy on him and kill him.
While at sea, Hamlet discovers a letter, in which Claudius orders the two men to kill him. Hamlet manages to excape from the ship and returns to his homland,Denmark.
In the end, Claudius is killed by Hamlet. His mother is poisoned and dies. If you want to know whether Hamlet is alive or not, please read the play or see the film.
