What central message or theme might Shakespeare be sending about revenge through his play The Tragical History of Hamlet Prince of Denmark?
Hamlet is a revenge play, and the second revenge play Shakespeare wrote. In his first, Titus Andronicus, the parties seek bigger and more vicious revenges against each other until they are all lying in a heap on the dinner table. In Titus, Shakespeare was saying that violence only leads to more violence. He has a similar message in Hamlet but it is tempered by the problems Hamlet has with finding an alternative to revenge apart from the one Ophelia finds (insanity and death)
Why did Shakespeare make Hamlet in Denmark?
Shakespeare set Hamlet in Denmark because that is where the story was set in his sources. He took the story possibly directly from the source story by Belleforest who had taken it from Saxo Grammaticus. In both those sources Hamlet is prince of Denmark. Even more importantly, scholars believe that there was a previous play drawn from Belleforest and possibly by Thomas Kyd also called Hamlet the Prince of Denmark, which was very well-known and thought to have been considered to have been a bit corny. To have written Hamlet Prince of Bavaria would have looked as ridiculous to his audience as Holmes and Watson being based in Las Vegas instead of London.
