It is said that most of Shakespeare's plays are written according to the desires of contemporary audiences, especially revenge tragedies. Revenge creates anger and forces a man to act without considering any logic. In historical revenge plays, revenge is not only about punishing the person or people responsible for a past incident, but is also about gaining the throne. From this point of view, Hamlet is not entirely a revenge tragedy. The play is not just about Hamlet's revenge. Hamlet, Laertes and the young Fortinbras, as the eldest sons of their respective families, individually have the goal of avenging the murders of their fathers. According to the course of the play, both Hamlet and Laertes succeed in killing their fathers' murderers but fail to become the king of Denmark. Rather they are killed by each other in a sword fight. Only Fortinbras finally manages to conquer the power of Denmark (even if he does not have to kill Claudius). So the success of revenge depends on whether the person taking revenge must survive to enjoy the results of his actions. The main character Hamlet fails to do this. Old Hamlet's ghost asks him to take revenge for his (old Hamlet's) death and leave Gertrude's fortune in the hands of heaven. Hamlet fails to follow all these orders correctly; indeed, his speculative attitude causes three deaths in the work that seem useless to him. Furthermore, generally in a revenge tragedy, the process of revenge begins almost immediately after the event that caused it. But the main character Hamlet takes a long time to act after meeting the ghost of old Hamlet. He procrastinates the process of retaliation until the end of the play despite being ordered by the g...... middle of paper ...... red hearts, In the end Hamlet who kills Claudius cannot avenge old Hamlet in such a way convincing because Hamlet also dies in the right way after Claudius's death. Previously the ghost orders Hamlet not to act crazy and to find a way to kill Claudius. But Hamlet decides to pretend to be crazy and at the same time procrastinates the implementation of the order. He is killed by Laertes with a poisoned sword. The murder of Claudius in the last scene only happens by chance, as the sword fight is arranged immediately by the king and up until that point Hamlet has not even managed to find a way to kill Claudius. Hamlet Confesses: Hamlet's madness or perceived madness leads him to struggle to kill Claudius, which might take a longer period of time if Claudius did not arrange the sword fight himself. He may not fully avenge his father's death, but he sacrifices his life to save Denmark and its people from rot..
