Who wrote the play Hamlet?

  1. William Wordsworth

  2. John Milton

  3. William Shakespeare

  4. Henry V

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

William Wordsworth and John Milton were both English poets, not playwrights, and did not write the play Hamlet. Similarly, Henry V is a play written by William Shakespeare, but it is a different play altogether. Therefore, the only correct choice is William Shakespeare, who is known for writing many famous plays including Hamlet.
