Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius who is now the king and Hamlet's stepfather. In the process of pursuing his revenge, Hamlet kills Polonius, Claudius's counsellor and the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia goes mad and dies, and her brother Laertes comes vowing vengeance for his father's death. Laertes and Claudius plot Hamlet's death, but although Hamlet is mortally wounded, their plot misfires, killing Hamlet's mother and Laertes. Hamlet kills Claudius before he, too, expires.
