Hamlet was prince of Denmark. Bart played him in "Do the Bard, Man".
History
In the form of a ghost his father told him how his uncle Claudius poured poison in his ear so he could marry Hamlet's mother Gertrude and become the king. His father requests that his death be avenged.
Prince Hamlet, with the help of a clown, puts on a play to make Claudius reveal himself to be guilty, and because Hamlet knows what he did, Claudius attempts to kill him. Hamlet, aiming to kill Claudius, accidentally kills Polonius. His son, Laertes, proposes to duel Prince Hamlet for revenge. As his “practice stab,” Laertes kills himself, and Hamlet proceeds to murder Claudius. Hamlet walks away to celebrate, but he slips on some blood and dies.
