""One may smile, and smile, and be a villain"--Hamlet, Prince of Denmark Prince Hamlet discovers that his father was murdered by his uncle Claudius-who is now on his father's throne and his father's bed. When he is charged with vengeance by his father's ghost, Hamlet coldly plans the killing even as he questions his dark role as avenger. After he accidentally kills the wrong man, Hamlet flirts with insanity, old lovers, and sycophantic courtiers while the whole Danish court destabilizes around him. This Canon Classic is world-famous for its tragic themes of supernatural intervention, madness, and murder"--
William Shakespeare with an introduction by Jayson Grieser.
