O, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
Considered one of Shakespeare's richest and most psychologically complex plays, Hamlet follows the young Prince of Denmark as he vows to avenge the murder of his father by his uncle. Affecting madness in a desperate gambit to reveal the truth, Hamlet strains his relationships, his sense of self and ultimately the future of the state in his doomed attempt to avenge his father.
