Among the tragedies of this master of drama, Hamlet is enigmatic in terms of the inner portrayal of character, or philosophically rich, and therefore has caused controversy among later generations. The basic plots such as the father being murdered by his evil brother, the throne being usurped, the mother marrying the murderer in an incestuous relationship, and the prince trying to revenge himself by feigning madness are all seen in ancient Northern European legends, especially in a chapter titled "Amleth" in Saxo Grammaticus's "Gesta Danorum," a Latin historical work. These long-forgotten original materials originally only recorded some rough plots and pale names, with no character or action; unexpectedly, in Shakespeare's works, readers find themselves living among a group of vivid characters.
