Hamlet

Hamlet: Prince of Denmark is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, one of his best-known works and arguably the most-quoted play in the English language[1]. It was first performed about 1600 (scholars debate the specific year, although most agree that it was in the period 1600-1602)[2]. Hamlet is frequently called "Shakespeare's greatest play"[3] and it is universally included on lists of the world's greatest books[4].
Hamlet is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, judging by the number of productions; for example, topping the list at the Royal Shakespeare since 1879.[5] The plot contains elements of revenge tragedy, fratricide, murder, existentialist self-questioning and supernatural intervention. With 4,042 lines and 29,551 words, Hamlet is also the longest Shakespearean play.[6]
