Most of Shakespeare's plays are said to be written based on the desires of his contemporary audiences, especially revenge tragedies. Revenge creates anger and forces a man to act without considering any logic. In historical revenge games, revenge not only means punishing the person(s) responsible for a past incident, but it also means seizing the throne. From this point of view, Hamlet is not quite a revenge tragedy. The play is not only about Hamlet's revenge. Hamlet, Laertes, and young Fortinbras, as the eldest sons of their respective families, individually aim to avenge their fathers' murders. According to the flow of the play, Hamlet and Laertes are able to kill their fathers' assassins but they fail to become king of Denmark. Instead, they are killed by each other in a sword fight. Only Fortinbras ultimately manages to seize power in Denmark (although he does not have to kill Claudius). The success of revenge therefore depends on whether the person taking revenge must survive to enjoy the results of their actions. The main character Hamlet does not succeed. Old Hamlet's ghost asks him to take revenge for his (old Hamlet) death and leave Gertrude's fortune in the hands of heaven.

Previously, the ghost ordered Hamlet not to act like a fool and find ways to kill Claudius. But Hamlet decides to pretend to be mad and simultaneously procrastinates in implementing the order. He is killed by Laertes with a poisoned sword. The murder of Claudius in the last scene happens by chance, since the sword fight is instantly arranged by the king and until that moment, Hamlet is not even able to find a way to kill Claudius. Hamlet confesses: “Hamlet's madness or pretended madness leads him to struggle to kill Claudius, which may take longer if Claudius does not organize the sword fight himself. He may not completely avenge his father's death, but he sacrifices his life to save Denmark and its people from the rot..
