Elsinore has a new king, a grieving prince and a ghost with an accusation, and Hamlet spends five acts deciding what to do about it.
Shakespeare's best known tragedy turns on delay rather than action: Claudius on the throne, Gertrude remarried, Ophelia caught between a father's instructions and a lover's behaviour. The soliloquies that anchor the play are also its most quoted lines, and reading them in sequence shows how the prince's reasoning shifts scene by scene. This Fingerprint! Publishing paperback prints the text across 200 pages and is listed for readers between ten and eighteen, which matches most school and college syllabi.
