Hamlet

Hamlet, son of the king of Denmark, is summoned home for his father’s funeral and his mother’s wedding to his uncle.  In a supernatural episode, he discovers that his uncle, whom he hates anyway, murdered his father.  In an incredibly convoluted plot—one of the most complicated and most interesting in all literature—he manages to feign (or perhaps not feign) madness, murder the “prime minister” love and then unlove an innocent who he drives to madness, plot and then unplot against the uncle, direct a play within a play, successfully conspire against the lives of two well-meaning friends, and finally take his revenge on the uncle, but only at the cost of almost every life on stage, including his own and his mother’s.
