Answer:

The ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet's uncle. Hamlet feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. The play ends with a duel, during which the King, Queen, Hamlet's opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed.

quote: “This above all: to thine own self be true, .

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

“To be, or not to be: that is the question:

“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

citation: Shakespeare, W. (1992). The tragedy of Hamlet, prince of Denmark (New Folger's ed.). New York: Washington Square Press/Pocket Books.

hope it helps : )
