      Introduction

      Student World is a group of college lecturers and professors. We understand how high school and college students feel when they are given to read literature, especially classics. They generally get lost in the long and complex sentences, a parade of characters, and shifting narratives, thus making it difficult for them to make head from tail.

      Our guide books are written in very simple and clear language, without exaggerating the facts. We do not include our opinions and never become too subjective while analyzing the works of literature.

      We try to make our books as easy as possible for students to read them and learn from them so that when they read the original texts of the classics or other works of literature, they are prepared and they know what the work is about.

      In this book we have included introduction to the book, plot overview, about major characters, complete summary, and critical analysis.

      Although we know that some students do not want to read the original text because they prepare only to pass their exams or tests, yet we insist that they read the original text of the book so that they can understand the subtle aspects of the narrative which can't be presented in this treatise.

      All the best

      About Hamlet

      Hamlet by William Shakespeare is one of the finest tragedies ever written in any language. The complete title of the play is The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, but it is generally referred to as Hamlet.

      It is assumed that this classic tragedy was written sometime between 1599 and 1602. The play is set in the Kingdom of Denmark. The theme of revenge runs throughout the play, as young Hamlet seeks revenge on his uncle, Claudius, who had killed Hamlet’s father, King Hamlet.

      His uncle had appropriated the throne after killing his brother, and then he married the widow of his brother, Prince Hamlet’s mother.

      It is William Shakespeare’s longest play. Hamlet has its distinguished place in the world literature. The story has been retold and adapted by others several times around the world. It was the most successful and most watched play during William Shakespeare’s lifetime.

      This play is said to have inspired several other famous writers, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Charles Dickens, James Joyce, Iris Murdoch, and several other following playwrights, writers, and filmmakers. Hamlet has been adapted into movies several times, and it is said to be the world’s most filmed story after ‘Cinderella.’

      Hamlet has been translated into almost every major language of the world. It is taught at schools and colleges in almost every country where English is taught as a first or second language.
