What type of summary is the following;

Hamlet is one of William Shakespeare’s famous tragedies. Many important themes are present in Hamlet such as revenge, deception, and loyalty. The play takes place in Denmark, specifically Elsinore Castle. The protagonist of the play is Hamlet. One night, the ghost of Hamlet’s newly deceased father confronts Hamlet and explains the cause of his untimely death, murder! The ghost explains to Hamlet that Claudius—Hamlet’s uncle and the new King of Denmark—poisoned him. The rest of the play chronicles Hamlet’s plots and attempts to avenge his father’s death. By the end of the play, Hamlet successfully kills Claudius. Like a true tragedy, however, Hamlet’s revenge results in the loss of his own life.

What type of summary is the following;

In one of Hamlet’s final attempts in using his “madness,” he once again tries to get to the bottom of Gertrude’s untrustworthy actions towards his father and himself. In Shakespeare’s Closet Scene, Hamlet unleashes a tirade of questions at Gertrude even after slaying Polonius. He connects his rash action of slaying Polonius with the actions of both Claudius and Gertrude as he screams, “A bloody deed—almost as bad, goodmother, / As kill a king and marry with his brother” (3.4. 27-8). Hamlet is once again implying to Gertrude that treason consumes Claudius’ reign and that she is a primary part of it! He then goes even further to show a connection between his mad deed and her actions. “Good-mother” represents the irony of Gertrude’s actions as both a wife and mother in the eyes of Hamlet as he analyzes her sins. Hamlet’s mad actions and words are not one of hate towards his mother. Instead, he is filled with disappointment and knows that he cannot even trust the woman who gave birth to him. He cannot comprehend how the woman who he thought loved his father so dearly could be over his untimely death so quickly. Gertrude’s loyalty to Claudius and disloyalty to Hamlet only make the wounds deeper, fueling his performed madness.
