 * Three Socratic questions based on revenge theme:

1) Is Hamlet a Noble person by honoring his father’s wishes in seeking revenge against his uncle, or is he seeking too much revenge? Is Hamlet therefore adding to the wrongness of stealing the crown by murdering his uncle the same was his uncle murders his father to get the crown?

2) Do you believe Hamlet was an ethical person? Was it right of him to take the initiative to seek revenge by sinking to the same level? Does this make Hamlet an honorable person fit for King? Was Hamlets quest for revenge justifiable for murdering people?

3) Why did Hamlet not kill Claudius when he had the chance to? Do you think that Hamlet doubted his father’s story? Or was Hamlet too afraid to purse his revenge knowing it was immoral?

Revenge has created many problems all over the world. One scenario where revenge caused more trouble than it was worth was in June 1914 when a Serbian that supported a nationalist organization called the Black Hand assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife. In retribution, this caused Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. By taking revenge and declaring war this started the First World War. After World War I Allied powers took revenge against the losers and took some of their land and imposed massive fines. The cycle of revenge keeps continuing until the end of the Second World War. But it doesn't stop there, revenge occurs on a daily basis all over the world and will never stop.
