Hamlet's Revenge 


Hamlet is the prince of Denmark and the son of the king, King Hamlet. Hamlet was upset about the death of his father (King Hamlet). After hearing the news about his late father he then was curious on how his father died. In Act III, the ghost of King Hamlet appears and had a conversation with his son Hamlet. What King Hamlet told his son Hamlet is that you should go and avenge my death by killing his brother Claudius and to leave his mother "Gertrude" alone. Hamlet delays the killing of his uncle "Claudius" because he is still traumatized on the death of his father. 










The conversation between King Hamlet and his son Hamlet:


GHOST
Revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.


HAMLET
Murder!
GHOST
Murder most foul, as in the best it is;
But this most foul, strange and unnatural.
HAMLET
Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift
As meditation or the thoughts of love,
May sweep to my revenge.
(1.5.7)  http://www.shmoop.com/hamlet/revenge-quotes.html

When Hamlet was constructing a play within a play at the castle he wanted to be a 100% convinced when he accused Claudius for the killing of his father. Hamlet had a plan on reacting his father death. Hamlet saw Claudius in the audience and saw that Claudius was uncomfortable and seemed suspicious.  When the poison was poured down the ear of the acting playing as Hamlet's dad, Claudius stands up and leaves right away, once Claudius left Hamlet was convinced Claudius had a part in the role of the death of Hamlets father. Meanwhile, in Act 3, Scene 3 Hamlet had a great chance on killing his uncle Claudius while he was praying. Hamlet then draws out his sword and wanted to end Claudius life right there but then Hamlet said if he kills Claudius while  he is praying he would go to heaven because that is a sin.




Act 5 Scene 2:



Hamlet's day of revenge finally comes true, when Hamlet stabs Claudius with a poison sword. The tip of the sword was the only part that was poisonous that killed Claudius. After Hamlet stabbed Claudius, Hamlet made Claudius drink the poisonous that Claudius intended to use on Hamlet but Hamlet's mother "Gertrude" drank it and died.

Richard Parker has stayed with me. I've never forgotten him. Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart. (1.1.14)
