Hamlet was the prince of Denmark

Hamlet was the prince of Denmark. He was a brave and noble young man. He was fond of many games and pastime. He was then changed totally. This change happened because of a great sorrow, that had fallen on him. In a mysterious way his father, old king Hamlet, suddenly died. Hamlet loved his father more than anything in the word. He was broken hearted, His sorrow increased when his mother married after her husband’s death. Claudius was a very conning and wicked man. Then he became the King of Denmark. Day after day and night after night, Hamlet grieved over these sad events. Not only this, a dreadful suspicion filled his mind. He had been told that while his father was sleeping in his garden he had died from the bite of a snake. Various types of thoughts came into his mind. Was this true? Had his uncle murdered him? Had his mother known about his uncle’s evil purpose? Had his mother helped him in it? The noble mind of the young prince was tormented and he was almost mad. Hamlet’s best friend was Horatio one day he came to the prince with a strange story. The soldiers on guard on the castle walls had seen the ghost of old king Hamlet. At midnight it had appeared in the armour of the old king. They had seen its face and had noted the deep sadness on it. It had opened its mouth to speak to them. At that moment the morning cock had crowed and it had vanished

Hamlet could not rest till he had seen the ghost himself and spoken to it. He thought the ghost had some message for him. He felt that perhaps it would tell him the truth about his father’s death. He also felt that possibly it would ask him to revenge it. The next night Hamlet and Horatio were waiting on the castle wall. There was guard on the wall. The noise of feasting and laughter reached them from the inside of the castle. In the icy wind and darkness they stood trembling

Suddenly Horatio touched Hamlet’s arm. He whispered “Look my lord. Here it comes!” The ghost of his father stood in front of young Hamlet.
