Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
Considered by many authorities as Shakespeare’s greatest play, Hamlet may also be the most representative character in all-dramatic literature. It’s a classic tragedy of a young prince torn by indecision. “To be or not to be? That is the question” for a grief-stricken hero caught in the toils of countless dangers. Revenge, nobility, and honor are the quintessential elements of one of Shakespeare’s great masterworks.
