ABSTRACT
Vengeance is a harmful action against a person in response to grievance, be it ready or perceived. This project work examines the theme of vengeance in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Merchant of Venice. In doing this, approaches to taking vengeance will be aimed in both plays. Chapter one will deal with introduction to vengeance, chapter two will consist of literature review on the selected texts. Chapter three will discuss vengeance in Hamlet, chapter four will discuss vengeance in Merchant of Venice and chapter five will be the conclusion of chapter three and four. In doing this, we are going to study the lives of the people in England at that time.
