Paper Summary:
This paper discusses one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, "Hamlet". In keeping with the theme of revenge of this drama, the paper contends that Shakespeare exalts Hamlet as a hero. The paper describes the evolution of the characters within the context of the theme of revenge.From the Paper:
"One might alternatively decry Hamlet's methods. For, in his quest for vengeful justice, many innocent are killed. These include his beloved, Ophelia, her father Polonius, her brother Laertes, Hamlet's mother Gertrude, his friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and of course, justifiably, Claudius. But Shakespeare does provide final resolution. This resolution is good for Denmark. The nation is now left in the hands of neither the criminal Claudius, nor the mercurial (and possibly, truly insane) Hamlet. Fortinbras rules Denmark. We hope that he does so justly."More papers on Theme of Revenge in 'Hamlet':
