What are all the themes that would be asked in the exams about Hamlet? What are the answers to it?I would like to know all the themes they would...

There's no certain answer to this. However, Love, Politics, Revenge, Madness and Melancholia, Sin and Salvation (Death and all that) could be some of the themes?


Love - explore Ophelia and Hamlet, Claudius and Gertrude, etc. All relationships, whether partners or mother-son, father-son/daughter... Real love? Infatuation? so on...


Politics - between Denmark and Norway? between Denmark and England?


Revenge - Fortinbras avenging father, Hamlet avenging father and mother, Laertes avenging father and sister...


Madness and Melancholia - Hamlet's supposed madness, his depression at the beginning of the play, etc...
