Consider the spanish tragedy as a revenge tragedy Labeled?
Kyd's play The Spanish tragedy was far and away the most popular play in Elizabethan England, so much so that it spawned a whole new genre of play: the revenge tragedy. It starts out with the Spanish lord Lorenzo and his Portuguese prisoner Balthazar. Lorenzo and Balthazar quickly become friends. Balthazar falls in love with Lorenzo's sister Bel-Imperia. However, she seems to be falling for Horatio, son of Hieronymo. They murder Horatio which drives Hieronymo's wife crazy and she kills herself. Hieronymo vows revenge and plans an entertainment for the king: the play Soliman and Perseda. While he's working on that, two more people die as a result of Lorenzo's machinations. The performance of the play is a bloodbath. In his "performance", Hieronymo actually kills Lorenzo and Bel-imperia kills Balthazar. Bel-imperia kills herself and Hieronymo bites his own tongue out to prevent himself from naming Bel-Imperia as his accomplice, murders Lorenzo's father and kills himself. The stage ends up littered with corpses with only minor characters left to drag them off.
