Hamlet is one of the best tragedies ever vvritten in the vvorld literatüre. Shakespeares play presents the inner conflicts vvhich a young meditative man Hamlet who is revealed his fathers murderer by the ghost and given a task of avenging his fathers death goes through. Though Hamlet is aware of his uncle Claudiuss erime his mother Gertrudes infidelity Ophelias weakness and Poloniuss plots he hesitates Jo act due to his skepticism and brings out the tragic doom of almost ali the principle characters ineluding himself. The idea of revenge the question of life and death the sense of guilt and indetermination on when and how to act are the main points dis-cussed in the play. Shakespeare combines love and hatred the sense of loneliness and loss desire and regret in a very well developed plot with lively and real characters who stand as individuals.
