This resource considers justice in revenge, themes that may well be considered the most important in Hamlet. It could be given to students to facilitate independent learning by asking them to make notes for revision purposes. This could be followed with a practice exam question which allows students to demonstrate their new knowledge (not included).

Taster: In Act I Scene v, the ghost declares to Hamlet, ‘I am thy father’s spirit / Doom’d for a certain term to walk the night… / Till the foul crimes done in my days of nature / Are burnt and purg’d away.’ A key part of Hamlet’s motivation, given the Christian influences of Jacobean times, must be the desire to free his father from his state of purgatory. Such a loved king cannot be left to endure unfair punishment in the afterlife.
