Long Live the King Is Dead

Returning home from the university, Prince Hamlet discovers that his father has died and his father's brother, Claudius, has seized the Danish throne and married his mother. His father's ghost soon tells Hamlet that he has been murdered by Claudius and bids Hamlet to seek revenge. Hamlet, after killing his beloved Ophelia's father by mistake, hears again from the ghost, still demanding revenge. Claudius has become suspicious of Hamlet's intention, though, and craftily tries to thwart him.
