Features: "To be or not to be: That is the question." This famous line, which has been quoted countless times, comes from one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, "Hamlet." The entire play revolves around the Danish prince Hamlet avenging his father's murder, interwoven with the dilemmas of love, friendship, and family. To avenge his father, Hamlet goes to the extent of feigning madness, abandoning love, and using his wit to mock his uncle by rewriting the play. He finally exposes the truth. Later, he falls into the trap set by his uncle and tragically sacrifices his life.
