“The Mona Lisa of literature” T. S. Eliot

In the literary exploration and eternally enigmatic examination of consciousness, madness, and the nature of humanity, a young prince encounters the ghost of his father in the dead of night, who accuses his own brother - now married to his widow - of killing him. The prince crafts a strategy to test the truth of the ghost's accusation by feigning wild madness while plotting revenge. But his actions soon begin to wreak havoc on innocent and guilty alike.
