I read a book titled, 'Hamlet'.

Today, I read a book titled, 'Hamlet'.
Hamlet is a prince. He was living a happy life, but one day, his father died. And his mother married the King's little brother. After a few days, there was a rumor that the spirit of the past King is still remaining in the castle. And one night, Hamlet decided to see the ghost. And the ghost said that his little brother murdered him so, he would like Hamlet to repay his death. He decided that he would show the King and his mother a play, about how the King killed his father. The King couldn't stand to watch the show, and went out. The Queen scolded Hamlet for playing a joke on the King. But she was also frightened that Hamlet is thinking that she is a criminal who married the murderer. Just then, somebody shouted for help to protect the Queen, and Hamlet accidently killed him. Surprisingly, he was Ophelia's father, the woman that he loves. Because of her father's death, Ophelia became mad. Later, she died. Her brother felt angry because of Hamlet. So, he decided to start a revenge. He and Hamlet had a sword fight, and Ophelia's brother striked Hamlet with his sword. And Hamlet also striked Ophelia's brother, and the King. So, the main characters in this story died.
After Hamlet realized that the King murdered his father and married his mother, he decided that he would start a revenge on the King.
However, the revenge wasn't favorable. So, the King, Ophelia, Ophelia's family, the Queen including him dies at the end of the story.
If I were Hamlet, I wouldn't have started a revenge on the King. The past King already died, and the Queen had already married his husband's little brother. I think it's foolish to think about a revenge, since it will not change anything. So, I would have forgiven the Queen, but punished the King because he has committed a crime.
The future is more important than the past. If Hamlet didn't retaliate on the King, all the people would have lived happily ever after, including himself.
