William Shakespeare's *Hamlet* is often classified as a revenge tragedy, a genre popularized in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, especially under the influence of Senecan drama. The play is centered around Prince Hamlet’s mission to avenge the murder of his father, King Hamlet, by his uncle Claudius. As a revenge tragedy, *Hamlet* displays many of the conventional elements of the genre, including the appearance of a ghost, a delayed act of revenge, feigned madness, and a catastrophic ending. However, *Hamlet* also deviates from certain norms, particularly those found in the Aristotelian principles of tragedy, as articulated in Aristotle's *Poetics*. In this discussion, the analysis is approached from the aspects of language, focusing on dramatic structure, diction, characterisation, dialogue, and rhetorical devices. In its core narrative structure, *Hamlet* conforms to the basic expectations of a revenge tragedy. The inciting incident—the appearance of the ghost of King Hamlet—sets the protagonist on a path of vengeance. This motif of a supernatural revelation directing the action is typical of Senecan tragedy, which strongly influenced English revenge tragedies. The ghost's command to Hamlet to “revenge his foul and most unnatural murder” launches the central dramatic conflict. This setup fulfills one of the essential features of a revenge tragedy: the ethical imperative placed upon ________ ___ ______ ____ __________ _____ _________ _______.
