"Something
 is rotten in the state of Denmark.” (1.5.90 Hamlet). Corruption, if 
left unchecked, will continue to spread, shattering the social order. 
This is true in William Shakespeare’s, Hamlet. Greed and the thirst for 
power become the invitation for corruption. Moreover, corruption is 
further developed through manipulation. As a result,, corruption 
manifests itself as tragic revenge.
