the hero of William Shakespeare's tragedy who hoped to avenge the murder of his father

Hamlet is a tragedy by William Shakespeare, and is one of his best-known and most-quoted plays. Evidence suggests that it was complete and being performed by 1600, but had some topical references added (which still survive) the following year.Jenkins, pp. 1-6; the topical material concerned the "war of the theatres" and — possibly — the Essex rebellion in early 1601 ("the late innovation") Hamlet is probably the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, judging by the number of productions; for example, topping the list at the Royal Shakespeare since 1879. (Crystal, 2005, p.66) The plot contains elements of revenge tragedy, fratricide, murder, existentialist self-questioning and supernatural intervention.
