| − | '''''Hamlet''''' is a Jacobean revenge [[tragedy]] about the Danish Prince Hamlet. Written between 1599-1601, it is perhaps [[William Shakespeare]]'s most famous play, and possibly one of the most famous works written in the English language, being the subject of more essays than any other work. There is some dispute as to Hamlet's origin, with it perhaps being an adaptation of earlier Latin, or Italian, or Germanic tales, including ''"Hamleth"'', or perhaps the alleged ''"Ur-Hamlet"''. The tale heavily features the themes procrastination, deterioration, incest, [[revenge]], [[madness]], [[homicide]], and [[suicide]]. | + | '''''Hamlet''''' is a Jacobean revenge [[tragedy]] by [[William Shakespeare]].
