Hamlet’s father’s ghost drives the whole plot by telling Hamlet that he must go for revenge against Claudius and avenge his death. This kick starts the plot and sets the theme of revenge. He also puts pressure on Hamlet to get revenge by telling him that if he ever loved him he would take revenge on Claudius. Hamlet’s main theme is revenge because there are many different plots within the play centered on revenge, Hamlets revenge on Claudius, and Laertes’s revenge on Hamlet for killing his father Polonius are just two examples of the theme of revenge. In The Lion King the theme of revenge is shown through the actions of Simba who returns to defeat Scar and avenge his father’s death by taking revenge on Scar.
Then thy body will be thrown into the ocean. People will notice thou art missing soon after that. Inside thy mansion they will find a suicide note written by thy hand, at least it will appear to be. I have mastered the art of forgery. Kaiser: Here’s the part I like best.
Captain Ahab’s uncontrollable compulsion and desire to hunt and kill Moby-Dick can be seen as an extreme obsession, in which, only the most sinister acts can appease. As seen in this passage and what one can presume will continue to effect the role of Captain Ahab through the remainder, both tone and imagery play a compulsory role in the explanation and realization of Ahab’s obsession; the death of Moby-Dick. When looking at the context and language used in the opening sentences of the passage, one can see that a specific tone becomes apparent. The tone of the passage gives an initial insight as
Also, it’s being very selfish by asking Victor for more favours, after Victor had already given life to it.

Poseidon and Odysseus are the most noticeable representatives of the theme of vengeance. In order to escape from the cave of the Cyclops (Polyphemus), Odysseus blinds the one-eyed giant (Book 9). Unfortunately, the Cyclops is the sea god Poseidon's son; Odysseus has engaged a formidable enemy. Poseidon can't kill Odysseus because the Fates have determined that he will make it home. However, the sea god can help to fulfill his son's wish that Odysseus should arrive in Ithaca late, broken, and alone, his shipmates lost, and his household in trash.
You tallow face!” In this quote the consequences of Juliet defining her father’s authority is seen through the way that Capulet’s attitude changes, from treating her with respect to treating her like scum the minute she disobeys her father’s authority. Imagery is employed to emphasise Capulet’s harshness and the manner in which his attitude changes after Juliet purports to disobey him. Disobeying authority in the context of the law mostly has very serious consequences. An example of this is Act 3 scene 1 in which Romeo kills Tybalt in order to avenge Mercutios death. Although Romeos thirst for revenge was satisfied the consequences were dire.
“Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk For most of recorded history, violence has played a major role in our lives; for example, through country conflicts to world wars, violence seems to be the tool to our defence. Even in our daily lives, when encountered a conflict, we humans want to make it disappear as quick as possible. We do this by using violence unconsciously, whether it is verbally or physically. To the same effect, in his novel “Fight Club,” Chuck Palahniuk reveals violence to be an inescapable cycle. He does this effectively by using violence in the lives of the characters; acting as a form of escape, a gateway to self- realization, a tool for control and a boost of self- esteem.
The opening paragraph in this story loosely defines why Montresor seeks revenge and what he views as revenge. Montresor says, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge” (107). Franckowiak 2 The narrator is not clear on what Fortunato said or did to warrant such contempt. However, Montresor is very clear in his intent in paying Fortunato back. Montresor’s declaration of revenge is definite and seems warranted as all vengeance appears to be on the surface.
Ishmael’s boarding of ships compares to Melville’s own reality of his time at sea because it caused Melville to create a sense of social suicide (Delbanco 132). Not long after being at sea, the captain of the boat, Ahab, reveals his plan to hunt down a white whale named Moby Dick. Ahab was veteran sailor and a man who had a heart made of stone. Just like Ahab, Melville had a heart of stone and he was very stubborn in the sense of making sure his novel dreams came true. Ahab had a personal grudge against the whale.
