In beability of William Shakespeare, works for performances in theaters created on the basis of existing plays. "Hamlet" did not exception - in the 7th century, the Danish chronicler Sakson Grammar recorded the legend about Prince Hamlet (in the original, the name sounds like Amedle), which is part of the Scandinavian Sag.
According to her, the contemporary and compatriot of English playwright (suggest that it was Thomas Kid) folded the play, which was put in theaters, but was not preserved to the present day. In those days, a joke went about the "pile of gamletters scattering tragic monologues."
In the period 1600-1601, Shakespeare simply redid the literary work. From the Scandinavian primary source, the work of the Great Poet was distinguished by the refinement of art canvas and meaning: the author dismissed the focus on the external struggle on the spiritual suffering of the main character.
During the life of Shakespeare Piece in the genre of the tragedy, three publications have undergone. However, the researchers believe that they are all created without permission of the author and are considered "pirates", because only some monologues are fully recorded in each of each, while the speeches of other characters are either represented poorly, or there are no at all. The fact is that publishers paid the actors for the texts of the plays, but the hyserie could literally reproduce only their words in the production.
Late literary reviews managed to draw up the full text of the tragedy. Modern fission of the play on acts and actions does not belong to the author. "Hamlet" was translated several times in Russia. The works of Mikhail Lozinsky and Boris Pasternak are considered popular translation versions of the famous tragedy of Shakespeare. The latter endowed the work with a brighter artistic language.

The issue of choosing is derived to the fore: Fight against injustice or inactive.
