Hamlet
Hate and revenge are an ongoing theme in the play Hamlet. All of the main characters show some type of hate in the play. Hamlets? hate for Claudius is the main focus during the entire play. There are lots of other characters that hate each other in the play, like Laertes hate for Hamlet at the end and the hate shared between Claudius and Hamlet. The main cause that triggered all of this hate and wanting of revenge came when the ghost of the dead king tolled Hamlet about his murderer. Once Hamlet discovers that Claudius is the one responsible for the death of his father, thoughts of revenge and feelings of hate overwhelm his mind. From then on the only care that he has is to avenge his fathers death. This then triggers a chain reaction of lies, betrayal, and deceit. The thought of revenge on Claudius drives Hamlet crazy. He pushes people around him away and becomes a loner. Claudius notices the change in Hamlets behavior and immediately becomes suspicious of him. Claudius is then forced to become sneaky to try to uncover what it is that is making him act so weird. Claudius then goes around manipulating people around him to gain information and also to keep the truth hidden from Haml
(928) When Hamlet puts on the play to try to see if the ghost was right about his uncle, he is being very deceitful. When Claudius and Polonius set up the meeting between Hamlet and Ophelia, he is betraying and manipulating his own daughter. When they are talking Hamlet says ?Ha, ha! Are you honest?? (928) and she says nothing about Claudius and Polonius listening to them. He lies to Polonius to make him think that he is important so that he will do what he tells him to. Claudius and Laertes come up with a plan to kill Hamlet. They set up a sword fight between the Laertes and Hamlet. At the same time Ophelia is betraying he feeling for Hamlet because she knows what Claudius and Polonius are doing and does not say anything about it to Hamlet.
