Answer:

Primary

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary sources are sources from the period you are researching about, like diaries, memoirs, sculptures, or even old newspapers. Hamlet was written by Shakespeare centuries ago. This means it is primary. Secondary sources are sources from the current era about the past based on the primary sources and additional findings.
