Answer 7

Hamlet was, as everyone above me said, the protagonist from Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

If you are not a fan of Shakespeare, this is a decent "break-in" play. Many people believe that Shakespeare was... intoxicated during his writing of this play, because the play takes place in Denmark, yet all of the characters have Italian (Venetian) names. It is also one of the more action packed plays, and you can get decent, modern movie versions with strong actors that will help to immerse you in the Shakespearean culture.

PS - Don't let the people calling you out get to you. Some people can't appreciate that they don't know everything, let alone that someone else might not...

PPS/FYI - "Shakespearian" refers to a scholar of Shakespeare, while "Shakespearean" refers to the time, art and culture of Shakespeare.
