Tell me what you like about Hamlet the play. What is it about?

There is much to like about the play. The wordplay between the characters is key. There is a reason why so many actors love to perform this play. Almost every character gets a spotlight and great dialouge to boot.

The story bares a passing resemblance to an earlier play, also titled Hamlet, but Shakespeare changes a few details. At a glance it is about Hamlet setting up a plot to murder his uncle for the death of his father, but moreso it is Hamlet trying to prove his uncle's guilt. Remember, his father's ghost does tell him fairly earily on who killed him, but Hamlet wants to make sure. There is misundertanding aplenty, and like any great tragedy it ends in murder.
