A revenge comedy or revenge tragedy is a form of tragedy that was extremely popular in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. One of the best known Shakespearean revenge tragedies is Othello and the tragic comedy is The Tempest. And the most obvious and important aspect of human nature that appears in Shakespeare's work is the concept of revenge. The main idea of ​​this essay is to show how revenge leads to destruction in Shakespearean plays: Othello and The Tempest. The crux of the argument is "neither the avenger nor the victim is benefited." In William Shakespeare's Othello we are taken on a journey with Iago whose thirst for revenge is the main cause of destruction in the play. Iago at one point confronts Cassio which provokes him to take revenge on Cassio. “If Cassius stays he has a daily beauty in his life, which makes me ugly” (V.1.19-20). “No, he must die” (V.1.23). “His two supposed faults are that Cassio was promoted before him, and his wife's suspected intimacy with Othello contributes to his qualities of being cruel and vindictive” [Canning, Albert Stratford George, 1907]. His demonic qualities can be perceived from the ambiguity of the revenge motives he provides and his frequent references to the animalistic qualities of man “Even now, now, just now an old black ram is mounting your white sheep” (I.1.97 -98). Iago uses animal imagery to show the comparison between Othello and animals. This raises a serious question about the injustice that Othello inflicted on Iago, enough to deserve such revenge, because normally there is no revenge without reason. “Numerous reasons ranging from jealousy to hatred, but also a wounded pride are the driving forces... in the center of the paper... the same message after reading the work. “Through The Tempest, Shakespeare must have thought that his message, his warnings, would be better received by James's sons than by James himself.” [Schajer.B, David, 2012]. Perhaps this is why Shakespeare included the theme of magic and illusion to capture children's attention and make it more interesting for them so that they can get the message. For Shakespearean and modern audiences, The Tempest would have been more interesting to watch as it features some entertainment between scenes than Othello. But in Othello, Shakespeare creates more interest to know more as he hides some suspense and Iago's soliloquies create more effect on this suspense. In The Tempest, the reader is more interested in Prospero's magic and the comedy of the drunken sailors than in the main theme of the play.
