Question: 1 / 400

What is the protagonist's name in Shakespeare's Hamlet?

Othello

Richard III

Macbeth

Hamlet

While Shakespeare's tragedy, "Hamlet", includes several major characters, the protagonist – or main character – is undoubtedly Hamlet himself. He is the Prince of Denmark, and the play follows his journey as he grapples with grief, madness, and revenge. While options A, B, and C may be names of characters in other Shakespearean plays, they are not the protagonist in "Hamlet". Othello is the protagonist in the eponymous play, Richard III is the protagonist in the play of the same name, and Macbeth is the protagonist in – you guessed it – "Macbeth". Therefore, they are not the correct answer to this question.
