Ive never liked any of Shakespeares writings because i could never understand what was going on in any of the plays. Hamlet is the only one i can really understand and be able to anazlyze. The fact that were watching the movie and taking quizzes helps me even more to understand what is going on in this play. Basically Young Hamlets dad is killed by his uncle and Hamlet appears too his son as a ghost and tells his son he wants reevenge. This story is a tragedy so therefore you know that Hamlet will be the hero and that he will die at the end of the play. Hamlet takes this news and plans to set up his uncle so that he finds out that he really did kill his father. What angers Hamlet is that his mother has married his uncle within a month of his fathers death. He mets this girl named Ophelia and everbody warns her that she needs to stay away from him because he will just play her and use her. She seems to get brainwahsed by this idea and she begins to be very emotional  and it ultimately leads to her accidental suicide. The climax of this play is when Hamlet mistakes polonious behind the curtain for someone else and he stabs him and kills him. King Claudius her murdered King Hamlet is starting to realize that Hamlet is catching on to him and tells his spys that they need to send Hamlet to England. They end up getting him to go to England but he gets kidnapped on his way there by pirates and he finds his way back to Denmark. Now they know he is back they set up a fencing match that is set up to kill Hamlet. Laertes pokes Hamlet with the sword and then they both end up stabbong eachother and laertes dies. As Hamlet is dying he stabs and kills King claudius. What I love about this story is that Hamlet fulfilled what his father wanted to do.
