... How does Shakespeare present the Theme of Revenge in "Hamlet"? "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, is a revenge tragedy set in Denmark, which was written around 1600. It closely follows the dramatic conventions of revenge in Elizabethan theatre. Revenge tragedies originally stemmed from the Greeks, who wrote and performed the first plays. After the Greeks came Seneca who was very influential to all Elizabethan tragedy writers. Seneca, set all of the ideas and the norms for all revenge play writers in the Renaissance era including William Shakespeare. The recent death of King Hamlet is a great loss to his son Prince Hamlet and his unhappiness is not helped by his mother's "o'er hasty" marriage to his uncle Claudius. Hamlet was obviously very fond of his father. "A was a goodly king." One of Hamlet's most significant themes is the one about revenge. Throughout the play there are three main plots for revenge.
