Claudius had murdered his own brother and seized the throne, also marrying his deceased brother`s widow.Hamlet is Shakespeare`s longest play, and is among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature, with a story capable of ´seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others´. The play likely was one of Shakespeare`s most popular works during his lifetime, and still ranks among his most performed.
