Hamlet Essay
Revenge is defined as “. ... In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, several of the characters are compelled to restore family honor by exacting vengeance. Young Fortinbras reclaims his fathers lost honor by gaining territory; Hamlet must avenge his fathers murder by killing Claudius; and Laertes must avenge his father and his sister by exacting revenge upon Hamlet. ...
Young Fortinbras’s motive is to regain the land that his father has lost to Hamlet’s, now deceased, father. ... Through this self-concerning attitude Shakespeare shows that internal conflict is the main force that compels the revenge in the three characters, Fortinbras, Laertes, and Hamlet. ... This newly acquired truth is only an addition to Hamlet’s troubles. His hatred for his uncle has already been displayed after Claudius married Hamlet’s mother. Furthermore, Hamlet’s vengeance grows even larger when he learns that Claudius is only sending him to England in order for the English Crown to kill him (England owed Claudius a favor).
