Tragic Revenge

Hamlet ends tragically, why is that? Why not just the king Claudius died? Shakespears must have his reason. I comprehend the reason is that he wants to show the audience Hamlet's motive to avenge Claudius is complex. Hamlet is not just because his father was posioned by Claudias but more important is that Hamlet is jealous and angered of his mother's remarried to Claudias. In this point, we see Hamlet's heart has already been darkling. Thus, his revenge is justice but also vicious. Therefore, he will also be punished.
