This lesson is the second in a series of two lessons on Revenge Tragedies. The lesson materials have students read and compare “Hamlet” with the Japanese play “Chushingura”. They study the cultural contexts of both plays to examine how a ‘revenge ethic’ influences characters’ motivations and expectations for justice.
