Hamlet, what is it?

Hamlet is a tragic work written by William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602.

Hamlet is the quintessential image of a humanist that Shakespeare tried so hard to portray. In Hamlet, the conflict always centers on the prince's revenge for his father. Hamlet came from a royal family, but received a humanist education at the University of Wittenberg in Germany, which was the center of the new culture at that time, and he accepted many new ideas and concepts of humanism that were very different from tradition and the church.
