Features: One of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, it primarily depicts the story of Prince Hamlet of Denmark avenging his father. The story is based on Danish history and profoundly exposes the corruption and fierce struggles within the feudal court. Hamlet avenges his father by killing his uncle but is betrayed and dies from a poisoned sword in a duel with Laertes, ultimately failing to fulfill his duty to "reform the world" and dying in regret. This is a tragic tragedy, not a sorrowful one. This book is a selected edition with color illustrations.
