When reading and analyzing Hamlet's play, all the different themes and lessons that Shakespeare is trying to develop are very clear. Many themes emerge throughout the story, but the most important is that acts of revenge never have the best outcome. Shakespeare builds and works on that theme throughout the play and this makes this play a revenge tragedy. It is a revenge tragedy because revenge is the most established theme in Hamlet and most of the characters are involved in some kind of revenge. Shakespeare reinforces this idea by having Hamlet go through three different revenge stories, all having to do with a son avenging his father. First there is Hamlet who wants to take revenge on Claudius, then Laertes wants to take revenge on Hamlet and lastly Fortinbras wants to take revenge on all of Denmark. All these three stories develop and produce the main theme of revenge actions which never have the best results. The first and most important revenge story is that of Hamlet wanting to kill his uncle Claudius, after Claudius killed Hamlet's father. Shakespeare begins the idea of ​​revenge very early in the story when the ghost arrives and tells Hamlet what his uncle has done. The ghost first tells Hamlet how his uncle killed the king and then tells Hamlet to take revenge, as he says in the play: "Avenge his disgusting and unnatural murder." Hamlet responds with much desire for revenge by telling the ghost, "Let me know that I, with wings as swift as meditation or thoughts of love, can sweep away my vengeance." It's funny how Hamlet says this because first he says he wants revenge quickly, then for the rest of the play, after which Hamlet hesitates to kill Claudius. Shakespeare continues to push the theme of revenge as a village contiguous to the center of the paper, a hole country. Showing once again how revenge has no boundaries and can force people to do evil things. Overall, this play just represents a couple of people trying to get revenge for their dead fathers and get revenge on the people who killed them. All being Prince Hamlet who wants to take revenge on Claudius, Laertes who wants to take revenge on Hamlet and Fortinbras who wants to take revenge on all of Denmark. The whole story is just one big revenge story with two side revenge stories and Shakespeare teaches a lot about how revenge happens. For example, how revenge can have a soft side, how revenge can be very violent and aggressive, and how revenge has no boundaries. In the end, with the exception of Fortinbras receiving the crown, all the different revenge tales end with negative results and Shakespeare did a great job showing how vengeful actions never have the best results..
