Drama

Hamlet

by William Shakespeare

A prince is asked by a ghost to do something he is constitutionally unable to do quickly. Everyone who touches the plot afterward dies of it, including, eventually, the plot itself. It is the most quoted indecision in the language, and I do not think that is an accident.
