Hamlet's father, the king of Denmark, is murdered by his brother Claudius. He then claims the throne and becomes king himself. In addition, he marries his own brother's widow. So that's the queen and Hamlet's mother too. With that, (Uncle) Claudius becomes Hamlet's stepfather. The ghost of Hamlet's real father haunts the castle at night. One night the ghost tells Hamlet that he was murdered and how this happened. He also tells that Claudius is the murderer. Hamlet doesn't know what to do. Does the mind speak the truth? Or are dark forces trying to tempt him into evil? Should Hamlet take revenge on Claudius?
