To answer this question, this essay will focus on the play in its context first: How did the Elizabethan society think about vendetta, and which typical revenge tragedies did they already know? What were the main features of the typical revenge tragedy? In the second part I want to examine to what extent Shakespeare adhered to these genre conventions and what he changed.
