Amleto
Prince Amleto learns from his father’s ghost that his uncle Claudio murdered the king. He feigns madness and stages a play to expose Claudio. Amleto accidentally kills Polonio, whose daughter Ofelia goes mad and drowns. In the original fourth-act ending, a poisoned duel and cup lead to the deaths of Geltrude, Laerte, Claudio, and Amleto.
