Question

summarise the plot of hamlet

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope this helps.

Here's a short summary:

he ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. The play ends with a duel, during which the King, Queen, Hamlet's opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed.

Here's a longer summary:

Shakespeare's Hamlet details Prince Hamlet's efforts to avenge his father's murder.

After Prince Hamlet returns to Denmark, the ghost of his father appears and identifies Hamlet’s uncle Claudius, the current king, as his murderer.

Wary of the ghost, Hamlet tries to confirm Claudius's guilt before seeking revenge. To deflect suspicion, Hamlet makes himself appear mad.

After a previous attempt to kill Hamlet fails, Claudius conspires with Lacerates to murder Hamlet during a public duel. Lacerates seeks vengeance because Hamlet murdered his father, Polonius, and mistreated his sister, Ophelia, who later committed suicide.

During the duel, Hamlet, his mother, Lacerates, and Claudius all die.
