Revenge As A Theme Of Hamlet

In the play "Hamlet," by William Shakespeare, the main theme is that followed through plans of revenge lead to tragedy. Throughout the play, several different people want revenge on somebody. Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, wants revenge on the current King of his country, his uncle, who killed Hamlet's father, the original King, in order to take the crown and marry the Queen. When trying to revenge his father by killing his Uncle, Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, the father of one of his best friends Laertes. In turn, Laertes wants to revenge his father's death by killing Hamlet. Hamlet's father's arch nemesis, the King of Norway, was killed by Hamlet's father in battle. The King of Norway's son, prince of Norway, Fortinbras, therefore wanted revenge on Denmark.

As the play begins, Hamlet is in a grieving period over the death of his father. What makes it worse is that only a few weeks after the horrible and untimely death, Hamlet's mother, the Queen of Denmark, remarries Hamlet's uncle, the deceased King's brother. "Thrift Thrift, Horatio. The funeral baked meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables," Hamlet exclaimed to his best friend Horatio. The funeral of his father and the wedding of his mother and u

Unfortunately, Hamlet thinks that his uncle is behind a curtain, stabs through the curtain, and kills a friend named Polonius, who is the father of Laertes, one of Hamlet's best friends, and of Ophelia, Hamlet's ex-girlfriend. This is the first innocent person to die because of a lust after revenge. With the tragic loss of her father, as well as her recent loss of her relationship with Hamlet, she becomes crazy. "When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions," the King remarks; making that assumption after so many bad things happened to Ophelia in such a short period of time. She is so mad that it gets to the point where she kills herself. Now, Laertes wants revenge for his father. Seeing the opportunity to get rid of Hamlet, the King sends him to England, escorted by his childhood friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, with a note to England to kill Hamlet. Hamlet opens the note, sees what is going to happen, and changes it so that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are killed in England; two more innocent deaths. Upon returning to Denmark, the King is amazed to find out Hamlet is still alive. He decides to use Laertes's want for revenge in order to create a scheme in which Hamlet will be killed. He sets up a du
