'Hamlet' William Shakespeare
In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Hamlet we encounter the themes of incest, treachery, moral corruption and revenge. The name serves this story well because it all ends in tragedy. In the play Hamlet seeks out to avenge his father's murder. The killer being his uncle Claudius who killed his father and married his mother, Gertrude. In turn, Hamlet realizes this and gets very angry and seeks revenge for his father. In the end the biggest tragedy is that not only does Hamlet avenge his father's death by poisining Claudius but he also accidently poisons his mother and kills her along with Claudius and even Hamlet himself gets poisoned and dies. I believe revenge is never a good thing to go after because no matter what it will always have a negative outcome in one way or another.
