Hamlet's Cause for Revenge |
||||
Once Hamlet has come to understand the tragic loss of his father, in scene two he tells his close associate Horatio, that he must kill Claudius. Hamlet becomes outraged even when Horatio remarks about his mother’s quick marriage to King Claudius at the end of scene two. It has only been a few months since King Hamlet had died and his mother has already found a new husband. At the end of Act I’s final scene, Hamlet says “O cursed spite/ That ever I was born to set it right! / Nay, come, let’s go together.” (69) Hamlet is speaking to the Ghost and tells the Ghost with his help, he must destroy the evil and avenge King Hamlet’s spirit. |

In the eyes of Young Fortinbras, the land that his father had lost in a dramatic battle should rightfully be given back to Norway. Fortinbras has created a massive army of “lawless resolute” men that are marching to Denmark to recapture the lost land. (15) Fortinbras’s idea of revenge is different from Hamlet’s because Fortinbras wants to seize his lost land rather than murder someone as an act of revenge. |
