Revenge play

The revenge tragedy, or revenge play, is a dramatic genre in which the protagonist seeks revenge for an imagined or actual injury.〔http://www.britannica.com.ezproxy.middlebury.edu/EBchecked/topic/500360/revenge-tragedy〕 The term, revenge tragedy, was first introduced in 1900 by A.H. Thorndike to label a class of plays written in the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras.〔Kerrigan, John. Revenge Tragedy: Aeschylus to Armageddon. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 1996. Print.〕
==Origins==

Most scholars argue that the revenge tragedies of William Shakespeare and his contemporaries stemmed from Roman Tragedies, in particular, Seneca's ''Thyestes.''〔Bowers, Fredson Theyer. Elizabethan Revenge Tragedy: 1587-1642. Glaucester, MA: Peter Smith. 1959. Print. p. 41.〕 Seneca's tragedies followed three main themes: the inconsistency of fortune (''Troades''), stories of crime and the evils of murder (''Thyestes''), and plays in which poverty, chastity and simplicity are celebrated (''Hippolytus'').〔
In ''Thyestes'', Seneca portrayed the evil repercussions of murder.〔 In order to exact revenge on his brother Thyestes for adultery with his wife, Atreus lures him to Argos under the pretext of a shared rule, but instead tricks him into eating the cooked flesh of his own children.〔Kerrigan, John. Revenge Tragedy: Aeschylus to Armageddon. Oxford: Oxford University Press. 1996. Print. p. 111.〕 Seneca's criminals (in this case Thysetes) are always deserving of their punishment unless they repent, since he believed the will to do evil is entirely in the hands of the individual, who must therefore be appropriately punished.〔Bowers, Fredson Theyer. Elizabethan Revenge Tragedy: 1587-1642. Glaucester, MA: Peter Smith. 1959. Print. p. 42.〕 This ethical logic becomes complicated, however, since the revenging murder is also a crime, transforming the revenger into a criminal, and thus prompting retribution on behalf of the punished.〔
