Hamlet is the most （37）performed of William Shakespeare's plays．While you read this article，somewhere there is an actor on a stage pouring out his heart to the audience．
The character of Hamlet has a personal，painful quality that still draws readers and playgoers today as it did 400years ago．The problems he faces，such as what is （38）happeningand how he should respond to events，are ones we all face in our lives．
Hamlet is the young prince of Denmark．At the beginning，he is sad about his dead father．Everyone else around him is（39）celebrating the marriage of his mother Gertrude to her brother-in-law Claudius，the new king．Hamlet thinks that the short time between the death of his father and the marriage of his mother and uncle is （40）disrespectful．
Hamlet is told that a spirit has been walking around Elsinore castle．He meets it and it says that his father was killed，and by his brother Claudius-----it was"murder most horrid （可怕的）"!Now，the ghost instructs him，it is his （41）duty to avenge （报仇）．
Hamlet is in a terrible position．He does not know whether the ghost is who he says he is，or a being sent by the devil （魔鬼）．Matters are （42）complicated because Claudius is suspicious of his nephew．There is a cat-and-mouse game played between the king and Hamlet．
Hamlet has a play performed for the king which stages the way the ghost told him of his father's murder．Claudius reacts with horror，proving to hamlet that he is （43）guilty．But Hamlet misses the opportunity to take his revenge．
He tells Gertrude he hates her （44）marriage to Claudius．During their meeting he kills Polonius，who is the father of his love，Ophelia．Then，Lacerates comes back to the court．He's heard that his father，Polonius，has been killed，so he wants to kill Hamlet．
Cunning （奸诈的） Claudius attempts to play Lacerates and Hamlet against each other，and in the final scene it all goes horribly wrong．
One（45）famous speech in the play begins"to be or not to be"：it is about how Hamlet can't decide whether to get out of his bad situation by killing himself．Hamlet is a thinking man．One who thinks too much in the world where others，like Claudius，show no （46）hesitation．
