William Shakespeare – Hamlet
This is also a tragedy.
Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark. His mother, a Queen, is a widow and marries Hamlet’s uncle Claudius.
However the ghost of dead king appears and tells him, that it was the Queen and Claudius who killed him.
He wants revenge.
Hamlet writes a theatre play based on this story.
But Claudius recognises that the play is about him and sends Hamlet to England to be killed.
Later Hamlet comes back to Denmark, Claudius is alarmed and wants to destroy Hamlet. Finally Hamlet kills the whole family and he is also killed.
It’s the tragedy about a honest, strong and responsible man who isn’t able to punish his father’s killer without a having a clear proof.
It’s about hesitation and sufference (utrpení).
