Origins The revenge plays were very popular in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras Elizabethan era o Jacobean era o

Seneca the Younger Greatest authors of revenge tragedies. Not one educated Elizabethan who didn't know who he was There was a certain style Seneca used in his plays, such as the five act structure were later used in tragedies. Seneca was the emotional charge in Hamlet. "Hamlet without Seneca is inconceivable"

Tradition of tragedies In all tragedies first there is a crime committed and justice cannot be served, so the main character goes through revenge in spite of everything. Period of doubt Others include: o Appearance of ghosts o The revenger has a close relationship with the audience o Crime is always violent, sexual, or both After the revenge is finally decided, the tragic hero delays the actual revenge until the end of the play.
