Hamlet By Shakespeare, William

Once upon a time on a dark winter night, a ghost appears on the ramparts of Castle Elsinore in Denmark. It closely resembles the recently deceased king of Denmark. The guards see it first, and then the scholar Horatio confronts it. But it doesn''t speak to them. Impatient to know what the ghost''s appearance means, they summon Hamlet, the prince of Denmark. Hamlet has returned to Denmark to attend his father''s funeral. Yet, he finds himself also attending his mother Gertrude''s wedding to his uncle Claudius, who has inherited the throne. What will the ghost tell Hamlet?
