The story of Hamlet is one of the best-known stories in literature. Almost everyone has heard the story of Hamlet and the tragedy it contains. In Shakespeare's Hamlet the theme of revenge is prevalent in the actions and choices of the characters. These actions and choices are expressed through Shakespeare's unique style and ideas. Shakespeare uses several revenge themes throughout the play to emphasize that various characters harbor different feelings. Whether it is Laertes, Hamlet, or even Fortinbras in the spotlight, revenge is seen throughout the play, which is important to understand about this poem because Shakespeare uses it to establish plot and stimulate character development. In Shakespeare, Fortinbras wants to avenge the land that King Hamlet had taken from him. In doing so he shows us a type of hasty revenge. Fortinbras doesn't take his time with his revenge at all. He acts immediately and sends an army to reclaim the land his father had lost to the old King Hamlet. This type of revenge is the exact opposite of what Hamlet possesses. This is important to note because these different types of revenge show us the different personalities of the characters in the play. Fortinbras shows us that he has no trace of patience. This, as in the other cases, enriches his character and allows us to learn what the characters in the book feel and how they will probably behave in the future. As Piotr Sadowski says: "A man of action par excellence, Fortinbras will not wait for his bedridden uncle to die, but will take political matters decisively into his own hands before formally becoming the next king of Norway." (Sadowski) Shakespeare uses these details to show us the nature of Fortinbras. It shows that although Fortinbras is very hasty, he is the only one in the book who tried to take revenge and take back his land in an honorable way. This is important to the plot of the play because it tells us that it is morally wrong to seek revenge in a deceitful way. If you are going to seek revenge, you must do so in a direct and enlightened manner. In Shakespeare's time it was necessary to take revenge with honor. It was seen as a need for people to take revenge on fallen family members or friends (Prosser 4). This is important to note because readers of this book must place themselves in the context of the work to understand what is happening. Shakespeare believes that it is Hamlet's only choice to seek revenge for his father's death. In the end Fortinbraccio is the only one he earns anything from
