The play opens with the ghost of Hamlet's father revealing to Hamlet that he was murdered by Claudius, urging Hamlet to seek revenge. Hamlet’s struggle to act on this demand becomes a central theme of the play. He grapples with existential questions about life, death, and morality, leading him to feign madness in order to gather evidence and devise a plan. Meanwhile, Claudius grows suspicious of Hamlet’s behavior, and the tensions between the characters intensify. Hamlet’s famous soliloquy, "To be or not to be," reflects his internal turmoil as he contemplates the nature of existence and the consequences of action and inaction.As the play unfolds, Hamlet’s indecision and his pursuit of vengeance lead to a series of tragic events. His delay in acting results in the deaths of several characters, including Ophelia, his love interest, Laertes (her brother), and ultimately Hamlet himself. In the final act, Hamlet confronts Claudius, but in a tragic twist, everyone—Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, and Laertes—dies in a bloody confrontation, bringing the play to a tragic conclusion.
