A Trio of Tragedies:<br />

MacBeth, Hamlet &<br />

King Lear<br />

by<br />

William Shakespeare<br />

[Flourish. Exeunt.]<br />

Hamlet Introduction<br />

Scholarly research has determined that Hamlet was likely written in<br />

1600. <strong>This</strong> is an intensely complex psychological play in which the tragic<br />

hero Hamlet is riddled by chronic melancholy. He is sickened by the<br />

death of his father, the King of Denmark, and the rapid remarriage of his<br />

mother to his father’s brother. Hamlet has suffered in a limbo of inaction<br />

since the suspicious death of his father, and when urged by his father’s<br />

ghost to avenge him, Hamlet descends into hopeless madness.<br />
