Hah! No, they are so very proud that the most famous play in the world has a Danish protagonist and takes place in Denmark, of course! I don't know if they strictly like Hamlet as a person, but they sure like the play! (Okay, I guess they don't like that famous quote from Hamlet, Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.) But I myself have seen Hamlet performed at the Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, Denmark, by the Royal Shakespeare Company from Great Britain.



Kronborg Castle, Elsinore, Denmark. This is where Hamlet supposedly lived when he was Prince of Denmark.

(Admittedly it is a bit hard to recognize the Elsinore that Shakespeare described when you look at the real thing. Shakespeare talked about mountains around Elsinore. Take it from me, don't go to Denmark if you are looking for mountains!)
