內容簡介

This famous play by William Shakespeare, written in about 1600, is one of the finest in the English language. Why does Hamlet, the young Prince of Denmark, look so sad? Why does he often say strange things? His family and friends are worried about him. Perhaps he is mad! But Hamlet thinks that he has discovered a terrible secret about a recent crime in his family. Now he has no time for Ophelia, the sweet girl who loves him, or his friends, who were at school with him. He sits alone, and thinks, and plans. What will he decide to do? Will he ever be happy again?

　 《哈姆雷特》，寫的是丹麥王子哈姆雷特為父報仇的故事。這出悲劇的情節是這樣的：丹麥王子哈姆雷特在威登堡大學讀書期間突然遭遇了一系列不幸和家庭變故：父親暴亡，叔叔克勞迭斯篡位，母親改嫁給了叔叔。這一切使他陷入了巨大的痛苦之中。後來父親的鬼魂告訴他，自己是被他的叔父毒死的。哈姆雷特認為他現在為父復仇不只是為了他自己，而是整個社會、國家的問題，自己要肩負起這個重整乾坤的重任。他考慮了問題的各個方面，既怕洩露心事，又怕鬼魂是假的，怕落入壞人的圈套。他心煩意亂，憂鬱寡歡，只好裝瘋賣傻以迷惑仇敵，等待時機復仇。克勞迭斯覺察到了危險，想方設法除掉他。而哈姆雷特為了進一步證實事實真相，也授意戲班進宮演了一出惡人殺兄、篡位、娶嫂的戲劇。克勞迭斯果然驚恐萬分，倉皇退席。哈姆雷特的母親企圖勸說他忍讓，卻受到了他的指責，激憤中哈姆雷特誤殺了情人奧菲麗婭的父親。狡猾的克勞迭斯這時派哈姆雷特出使英國，背後命人暗地將他處死。哈姆雷特察覺內情後，中途逃回丹麥。回來後知道情人奧菲麗婭因父死、愛人遠離而發瘋，落水溺死。哈姆雷特悲憤交加，中了奸王的毒計。奸王利用奧菲麗婭之兄雷歐提斯為父復仇的機會，密謀在比劍中用毒劍、毒酒來置哈姆雷特於死地。結果，哈姆雷特和雷歐提斯都中了毒劍，王后飲了毒酒，奸王也被刺死。王子哈姆雷特臨死囑託好友傳播他的心願。
