    Hey guys im just formulating some ideas for Essay structures for questions that might come up for Hamlet and would really appreciate any help doing it!

    I was sorta thinking of maybe like 7 main points/paragraphs to expand on for each question so any suggestions would be awesome! Cheers

    For revenge I've been sort of thinking about

    1. Revenge sets up the whole set of events of the play. Main story is carried along by revenge.

    2. Hamlet is a revenge driven plot whereby the main character cannot actually commit revenge (procrastination).

    3. Is revenge morally right under these circumstances?

    4. Does revenge pay? Bring in Comparisons and Mirrors with Fortinbras and Laertes.

    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You could bring in about Pyrhhus as well with the laertes and fortinbras, he's another son out to avenge a father.

    Serious? I always see people saying revenge is likely.

    (i) “Revenge and justice are finely balanced themes in the play, Hamlet.”
    Discuss this statement, supporting your answer with suitable reference to
    the text.

    So it's unlikely for this year too
