Hamlet and Destiny 2

Hamlet's main goal in the play is to get vengeance for his father's murder. While playing a game I love, called Destiny 2, I realized a few parallels to the play regarding vengeance. One of the main mentor characters in the game is killed and it's up to the player to avenge him by taking up arms and seeking out the enemy. The other two remaining mentors have very different views about the morality of revenge, though. One of them had a view I thought was similar to Hamlet's; she saw it as a duty to avenge their friend and saw it as cowardly to shy away from the deed. Hamlet too feels that not avenging the murder would make him a coward. The other of the two mentors thinks that it is better to focus on the city and that taking vengeance would be useless. This reminded me of when one of Hamlet's friends thought he should focus on the kingdom and on being next in line for the throne. I also thought about the traditional Christian view on revenge and Hamlet's view; The second destiny mentor seems to take the more traditional view while the first takes a view similar to Hamlet.
