A short summary of Hamlet

Summary of Hamlet Hamlet is the son of the late king Hamlet (who dies about two months before the play starts). After his father dies, his brother Claudius becomes king and marries the queen of Denmark, Gertrude. Hamlet dreads that Claudius killed his own brother, King Hamlet, to be the king of Denmark, which terribly angers him. Two officers of the king, Marcellus and Bernardo beckon Hamlet's friend, Horatio, and later Hamlet himself to see …

…him. While the dying queen is screaming that she has been poisoned, Laertes, who is also dying, admits what Claudius has done. Weak Hamlet then lethally stabs ! Claudius, then he, Laertes, and the queen dies. While Hamlet is dying, he tells the real story of King Hamlet’s death along with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's deaths to everyone. Hamlet’s last wish is that Fortinbras, the king of Norway, becomes king, which does happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
