On the ramparts of Elsinor, Hamlet sees ghost of his father appear. The latter tells him that he was assassinated by his brother Claudius, in accord with the Queen, Hamlet's mother.

The young Prince feigns madness in preparation for his revenge, and sends his fiancé Ophélia away, who in turn goes mad and drowns herself.
