Abstract
hamlet, prince of denmark by William Shakespeare is one the most acclaimed and widely read pieces of literature in the history of Western civilization. It is the story of a young prince named hamlet who must battle his adversaries and his own demons in order to avenge the fratricide committed against his father, the former King of denmark, by his own uncle, the new King of denmark. It is a classic dramatic story filled with deceit, trickery, self-doubt, revenge, and death. As well as being one of the most well known and important pieces of literature in history, hamlet is not surprisingly one of the most analyzed and criticized work that exists today. From Freudian psychological interpretations, to modern deconstruction theories, hamlet is scrutinized under a wide variety of perspectives and interpretations. This is not surprising considering the incredible ability of William Shakespeare to create such intriguing stories and characters that truly touch and mystify the reader's soul.
