šThe Story of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark š

@HamletiHiroshi Jinj is away at University when he hears that his father, the King of Denmark, has suddenly died, and his mother, Gertrude, has married his Uncle ClaudiusiSho Tohnoj. He is recalled to Denmark where he seethes, consumed with grief and anger. Haunted by the ghost of his father, Hamlet becomes obsessed with the idea that his uncle murdered his father and that his mother has been disloyal, and that he must avenge his fatherΥs death. His strange behavior at court leads to his family believing that his love for Ophelia iYoko Tomabechij is driving him to distraction. When Hamlet has a traveling group of actors perform a scene that closely resembles the murder of his father, Claudius arranges to have him sent to England and killed.
The plan is thwarted and in the meantime Ophelia, confused, heartbroken and bereft of her father Polonius - who has been accidentally killed by Hamlet - drowns herself.Claudius convinces her brother Laertes to challenge Hamlet to a duel, and the play concludes with a frantic swordfight laced with poisoned wine and tragic death.
