In Antonio's Revenge, John Marston creates a character named Pandulpho who embodies an idea from the Spanish Tragedy of the Senecan stoic.[11] The Senecan stoic is not ruled by emotions but rather follows a balance of cosmic determinism and human freedom to avoid misfortune.[12] In Hamlet, Shakespeare explores the complexities of the very human desire for revenge in the face of stoic philosophy and ethics.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5557.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5557.txt
