Hamlet

HAMLET.
A fratricidal regicide (a king kills his own brother!) followed by the murderer gaining the throne and marrying his dead brother's wife! A ghost seeking dire vengeance! A son whose heart is torn and whose mind snaps sending him spinning into madness (or //does// he...)! A woman who is overly fond of flowers commits suicide in a river! "To be or not to be?"!!

Shakespeare's masterpiece, according to some, an epic tragedy ending in a blood drenched battle of swords and poison, and some of his most stunning rhetoric. What's not to like?
