The Revenger's Tragedy is a Jacobean Revenge play written in 1606 by (scholars now believe) Thomas Middleton. Earlier studies attributed the play to Cyril Tourneur and some scholars (e.g. Frank Kermode) still list Tourneur as the main author to this day, though a majority of scholars agree that Middleton is the most likely identity of the author.Disaffected Anti-Hero Vindice returns home to get revenge on the lustful Duke who poisoned Vindice's beloved, Gloriana, when she refused to sleep with him. It's convoluted, disgusting and full of over-the-top gory acts of vengeance. Some people think that it was intended as a parody of the revenge-tragedy genre so popular at the time. And of Hamlet in particular.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There is a 2002 film adaptation which sets the play in post-apocalyptic Liverpool, and stars Christopher Eccleston as Vindice. | |

Alas, Poor Yorick: Played with; since Hamlet came out a few years earlier, it's clearly poking fun at that scene. In fact, the play even opens with the image of Vindice holding a skull. | |

Aristocrats Are Evil: The royal family is made up of seven characters (The Duke, The Duchess, Lussurioso, Spurio, Ambitioso, Supervacuo, and Junior), and they are all terrible people. The Duke is a lecherous murderer, the Duchess and Spurio engage in an adulterous relationship to spite the Duke, Lussurioso is just as lecherous as his father, and Ambitioso and Supervacuo are constantly scheming to have their step-brothers killed for their own gain. Junior is probably the worst offender, as he rapes a woman, which results in her committing suicide. He feels absolutely no remorse for this and even jokes about it at his trial. | |
