Hamlet is a tragic account by William Shakespeare, which stages the revenge that Prince Hamlet, the main character, to enact upon his uncle Claudius for murdering his brother as well as seizing the throne, and then marrying the widow of his deceased brother. The Stranger is a novel that was written by Albert Camus.
