        abstract = {This paper explores how Hamlet by Shakespeare rejects certain notions of revenge tragedies and stands out as an exception in the genre. It studies the instances and peculiarities typical to the play which Shakespeare ensured to add to it, to make an odd one among other revenge tragedies. In order to do so this paper studies the various characters along with Hamlet to find out how he deviates from the role of a hero in a revenge tragedy.},
