The Consequences of Consequences

Revenge- a detail in our lives that we are forever seeking to comprehend. Why do humans need it, and does it ever truly satisfy?
Hamlet's life was, overall, taken by his desire for revenge. In the end, what came to all was death. Many eyes for an eye, and therefore, not exactly what had been called for.
The appearance of any deceased member of your life can forevermore remain traumatizing- however, Hamlet's experience with the image of his Father coming to reveal that it was a murderous act for which he died, one cannot imagine the mental state that he must have been in.
Every challenge which Hamlet faced following the meeting with the ghost reflected the challenges he emotionally was facing- he felt disheartened by his mother's marriage... to the murderer... He had such remorse, he wished to end his own life. People believed he had become insane with grief and angry intentions.
Even upon the unexpected murder of his own love's father, Hamlet showed no true emotion, but it was raging within him. "A rat." This is his final feeling of Ophelia's father. A conflict in the way of his revenge.
Today's world constantly faces these challenges of revenge, for it is only natural for humans to seek retribution. It is only knowing when to stop, however, that makes one truly innocent. The emotions associated with vengeance are normal, whereas eye-for-an-eye actions are not necessarily always the best case.
Hamlet's emotions had the power to change the face of his world, creating a confused, depressed relationship with all that was around him. It is strange how emotion has this power, and that even in the modernized, intellectual world today, we cannot comprehend the consequences of such feelings.
