Thesis Statement

Hi! I have a question about my thesis statement. I was wondering how I could possibly make this a better thesis statement?
I am writing about Hamlet being considered a revenge and not merely a tragedy.

In the literary work of Hamlet, revenge leads to a tragedy of Hamlet when characters are unable to cope with the death of a loved one.

Your thesis statement needs more detail. It needs to (1) state your proposition and (2) indicate your intended approach resolving the thesis.
