murder and revenge create the prime motivating factors for
tragedy, when these factors combine with the intense feelings

and contrasts Hamlet and The Odyssey. These two classic tales
were written in completely different times in history, as well as
completely different regions of the world, and as such they are
incredibly different in almost all aspects of consideration. Some

most obvious difference between the two is that Hamlet is a tale
of incredible depth and introspection while The Odyssey is
primarily a tale of adventure and intrigue. Bibliography lists 2
