A shakespearean play about the character of the same name who attempts to avenge his father's death. It would be pretty good, if it were not written in freaking early modern english. It has since been made better, by being converted into an episode of The Simpsons. Written for the sole purpose of tormenting high school students. Taught by teachers, especially Mr. Newcombe, for the sole purpose of tormenting high school students. Not as good as it is purported to be.
To be, or not to be; that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep -
No more, and by sleep to say we end
the heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to - 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep.
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause.

HAMLET:
Life is paaaaaaaaaaaaaaain.
My daddy died! Waaahhh!
I don't have the balls to do anything about it.
Waaaaaaaah!
Iambic pentameter philosophical mumbo jumbo.
My girlfriend killed herself 'cause I smacked her.
WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Main character in a venerated Shakespeare play of the same name. He comes from a family so dysfunctional that only the Skywalkers rival it in Jerry Springer potential.
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father's body,
Like Niobe; all tears, why she, even she--
O God, a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourned longer--married with my uncle,
My father's brother...
Hamlet, 1.2.147-151
i.e. Hamlet's mother marries her brother-in-law a month after her husband was murdered

Title and main character of a kickass Shakespeare play. Gets quoted a lot. Has an awesome death scene at the end (ruined it for you!). About three hours long when it's actually performed, though.

Shakespeare's most emo character, he spends most of his time complaining about how terrible his life and then at the end of the play he dies...how sad.
You think you're emo, you should check out Hamlet, that dude Shakespeare created; he definitely outdoes you.
