The more Hamlet criticizes Claudius, the more his unconscious feelings start to unravel.

Revenge is a retaliatory action to the unfairness of either insult or one’s death. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the theme of revenge is presented in various ways. Hamlet’s approach to the revenge he had promised to enact against Claudius, in the play, was marred by his indecisiveness, whereas Laertes’s quest for revenge is based on his rashness and impulsiveness.

This has led to many productions of “Hamlet”, such as Franco Zeffirelli’s version and Kenneth Branagh’s version.
