Revenge is an action against a person who harms anyone’s interest or emotion。 Meanwhile, revenge is also a special cultural phenomenon in the history of human culture。 Revenge literature, as a literary theme, from ancient Greece to now, continues to develop。 Modern people have more and more researches on this。 Hamlet and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, as classic works of revenge literature, they have many similarities and differences。 The thesis is composed of four parts。 Part one presents literature review。 I mainly talk about previous study and different revenge background information in this part。 Part two presents the differences through revenge。 I focus on the two heroes’ different methods and analyze reasons for differences from two factors: character traits and attitude toward love。 What’s more, I talk about similarities through revenge in the fourth part。 After that, I make a conclusion about my thesis。 The purpose of this paper is mainly to compare the avengers’ images of these two books from above perspectives。 I choose this topic because I am interested in revenge literature。 As representatives of Western Revenge Literature, Hamlet and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo are worthy of research。 And there are not many people making comparison between them。 Through my thesis, I hope that I can have overall understanding about two heroes and experience human recovery of two books。 I also hope that people can understand that researches on Hamlet and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo will never be out of date。 As we all know, classic works will have an everlasting influence on later generations。
