Re: Hamlet

[ginainthekingsroad]

Hi, little late, but F!S's resident theatre historian checking in! The issue here is that Hamlet isn't just a tragedy. It's a sub-genre called Revenge Tragedy. Hamlet is technically justified for wanting revenge because his father was wrongfully murdered. But it's not "the right and proper thing for him to do" because that's against Christian ethics. And that's going against God-- God is the one who deals out punishment, not Man. The price for doing that is that the Revenger has to die as well.

Sooo, the official censors insisted revengers die too, so as to show the consequences-- you can't get away with it and come off scott free (The Revenger's Tragedy actually lampshades this trope when the Revenger character heads into his final battle). And early audiences LOVED this shit. The more deaths, the better. The Atheist's Tragedy is positively batshit!
