It was written in 1601-1602 and first published in 1603. Hamlet is the profoundest expression of Shakespeare’s humanism and his criticism of contemporary life. The story: The king of Denmark, is recently dead, and his brother Claudius has assumed the throne and married his widow Gertrude. Young Hamlet learns from the ghost of his father that Claudius murdered him by pouring poison into his ear, and is commanded to avenge the murder without injuring Gertrude. Hamlet tells the story to his best friend Horatio and plans to pretend to be mad at first. He welcomes a group of visiting players, and arranges a performance of a play about fratricide (crime of killing one’s brother or sister), which Claudius breaks off, in apparently guilty and fearful fury, when one of the players appears to murder his uncle by pouring poison into his ear.Hamlet refrains from killing Claudius while he is at prayer, but kills Polonius by mistake. Polonius is his lover Ophelia’s father. Claudius sends Hamlet to England with sealed orders that he should be killed on arrival. However, Hamlet outwits his murderers and returns to Denmark. During Hamlet’s absence, Ophelia has gone mad with grief from Hamlet’s rejection of her and her father’s death, and is found drowned. Her brother Laertes returns from France intent on avenging his sister’s death. Hamlet and Laertes meet in the graveyard where Ophelia is to be buried, and fight in her grave. Claudius arranges a fencing match between Hamlet and Laertes, giving the latter a poisoned foil; in a scuffle (混战) an exchange of weapons results in the deaths of both fighters,
