Hamlet's father, the king of denmark has been dead for only two months, but his mother, queen Gertrude, has married her brother in law, Claudius, who has now become king. A ghost, that looks like the late king of Denmark, has appeared to the sentries at the Castle of Elsinore, which is armed in case of attack from Fortinbras, prince of Norway. Hamlet and his friend Horatio arrange to meet at night to see whether the gost will appear, which he does. He tells Hamlet he has been murdered by Claudius who poured poison in his hear while he was sleeping in his garden. He asks hamlet to avenge him, but to leave his mother's punishment to heaven.

However, through the theme of vengeance, Shakespeare develops a series of themes that are central to humanity:
  • the relationships between  father and son, mother and son, and Hamlet and his friends;
  • love relationships;
  • madness;
  • youth and age:
  • action and inaction;
  • the corruption linked to power;
  • the existence of God and life after death
  • the meaning of the theatre itself
Another important theme is honour and honourable action. The theme of honor makes it clear that any action to correct a wrong should be reasoned, not emotional. Justice is accomplished through the various deaths and the ascent of Fortinbras to the throne. Even Hamlet's death is ennobled by his final honourable actions tending to destroy the sources of corruption within the State

Hamlet pretends to be mad so that he can carry out his plans more easily. Polonius, the king's counsellor, thinks hamlet's madness is caused by his love for his daughter Ophelia. Hamlet arranges for a troupe of actors, who have come to provide entertainment for the court, to perform "The murder of Gonzago", a play whose story is similar to the one revealed by the ghost.

The play is presented: the king rises and rushes away. While going to his mother's bedroom, Hamlet sees the king at prayer, but doesn't kill him, so that he will not be saved because in state of grace. During an argument with his mother, Hamlet kills Polonius who is hiding behind a curtain listening to their conversation. The king decides to send Hamlet to england to get rid of him.
