Original Writing

This piece of writing is an unrhymed iambic pentameter. This play is a tragedy about a man whos father dies and he tries to prove that his uncle killed his father. Hamlet is of course man and sees his father's ghost soon after his mother marries his uncle. Although his uncle did kill his father, the community does not know that and takes his uncle to be a good man.

Eventually Hamlet goes completely insane and basically kills everyone except one person who takes kingship. During the play Hamlet puts Claudius, his uncle to the test to see if his guilt shows. Hamlet puts on a play that is a representation of the death of his father. Of course Claudius looks very guilty and shows it.
