In the play Hamlet, there are three significant revenge plots that Shakespeare includes. Which subsequently all of them are keen to the plot and storyline. Shakespeare expresses this through the skillful use of diction and irony.Without hardship and determination these three vengeances would have never occurred. Before King Hamlet was murdered, he had killed the king that had once ruled Norway.”Young Fortinbras,Of unimproved mettle hot and full,Hath in the skirts of Norway here and there Shark'd up a list of lawless resolutes”(1.1.107-110).
