Answer:
The play Hamlet by William Shakespeare revolves around the theme of revenge even at the beginning. This can be seen particularly in Act 1, scene 5 where the ghost of Hamlet’s father told him about the intention of his appearance: “GHOST: Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing/ To what I shall unfold. HAMLET: Speak. I am bound to hear. GHOST: So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear.” It is very clear that the ghost was not asking for pity. He wanted his son to “revenge when thou shalt hear” for what Claudius had done to him. As a ghost, he could not retaliate; thus, he told his son about the act of murder and asked him to avenge his death.
