It follows the form of a “revenge tragedy,” in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Among them: What is the Ghost—Hamlet’s father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This edition includes:\u003cbr\u003e -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play\u003cbr\u003e -Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408559612247,"sku":"9781451669411","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781451669411.jpg?v=1730503337","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hamlet-9781451669411","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
