When Prince Hamlet of Denmark was bereaved by his father, his uncle immediately succeeded to the throne and married his mother as his wife, which made him deeply ashamed and resentful. One night, he met the ghost of his father and complained that the uncle had poisoned his brother in order to usurp the throne and marry his sister-in-law. In order to avenge his father, he pretended to be crazy to avoid the surveillance of the uncle, and through the performance of the troupe entering the palace, he forced his uncle to reveal his true self.
