Your uncle is a very evil man. You must take revenge for my murder and kill him! But please, do not harm your mother!’ then the ghost disappeared.

Hamlet was full of anger and hatred. He wanted to kill Claudius, but he was indecisive. He started behaving strangely and Claudius began to suspect that hamlet knew something. He asked Polonius, his chief minister, to find out about Hamlet’s strange behavior.

Hamlet went to his mother’s room. She looked sad. ‘you have offended your father,’ said Gertrude. ‘and, mother, you have offended my father,’ replied hamlet. While they were talking, hamlet heard a noise behind a curtain. He was suspicious and thought it was Claudius. This time, hamlet was decisive. He took out his sword and killed the person behind the curtain. But it was not Claudius-it was Polonius!

The situation in Elsinore was getting worse. Claudius sent. Hamlet to England. While he was there, Ophelia went mad and killed herself. When hamlet returned, he was more depressed-now both his father and Ophelia were dead while the evil Claudius was still alive!

Soon,Laertes, Ophelia’s brother, arrived back in Elsinore. He blamed Hamlet for the deaths of his father and sister, and challenged hamlet to a fight. Claudius wanted hamlet to lose and so he poisoned LAerte’s sword. He also prepared a glass of poisoned wine to give to hamlet in case he won.
