Interview
Anne Kenroe is your average teenage drama queen, much like Hamlet.  We interviewed Miss Kenroe to decide if Hamlets views on revenge are believable.

Q: Have you ever been in a position where you honestly considered revenge?
A: Yes, mmm...I guess.

Q: What relationship did you have with this person?
A: He was my boyfriend now he's my ex.

Q: What did he do to drive you to revenge?
A: False promises of marriage, cheating on me with many people, or how about how he lied to me and told me he was ten years younger than he really was.

Q: Is there ever a point when a person is justified to kill?
A: Yes, if someone kills or rapes someone you know or your life is in danger.

Q: Have you ever seaked out revenge?
A: Yah, I told him that I was a lesbian and that it was his fault. (evil snicker)

Q: Do you know any funny revenge stories?
A: My boyfriend once posted his ex-girlfriends car on the web for really cheap along with her new boyfriends.

Q: Would you ever seek revenge on a family member?
A: No....wait, what did they do?

Q: If you were in the same situation as Hamlet would you kill Claudius?
A: Gee....what do you think? Yes

Q: How would you do it?
A: Make it look like an accident.

Q: Do you think it's better to "rise above" your differences with people instead of stooping to there level?
A: I'm gonna say the thing everyone says; yes.  In reality though I just want to hurt them.

Q: Have you ever known anyone who has taken revenge too far?
A: No there were never too many bodily injuries.

Q: Do you think the urge to seak revenge is something you're born with?
A: Yes.

Q: Why do you say that?
A: I believe it's a coping mechanism.  You'll either be thinking it, doing it, or saying it... kind of like sex.

Q: Do you believe in Karma?
A; Yes.

Q: Why would you seek revenge if you believe the universe will?
A: Because I'm human and it's funny.

Conclusion: Yes, Hamlet does have the same mental mind set as a teenage drama queen.
