In Hamlet this is revealed through the character of Ophelia as well as his mother the queen Gertrude. In Oedipus, both his daughter and mother Jocasta are only significant through the relationships to the men around them. They are conveyed as dispensable, hysterical and irrelevant characters ruled by their feelings and the men around…

Polonius just thought Hamlet was love sick…

In my opinion, the play is more attentive to the ethical view of revenge than seeking it.…
