Charnes asserts that noir film and literature descend from the ethos of revenge tragedy. Both genres "[offer] a paranoiac ethos, in which the fact of a particular crime is insufficient to explain what's really gone wrong and draws attention to a more pervasive social problem precisely by virtue of its lack of criminological 'critical mass'" (3). Thus, because Hamlet has "in terms of its popular mass-cultural reception . . . long been regarded as the classic Renaissance revenge play" (4), Charnes concludes:

Hamlet-and not Hammet-offers the first fully noir text in Western literature, and Prince Hamlet the first noir detective. Or, rather, the first noir revenger.

holy shit thats actually a really cool idea. thats a really cool idea ive never seen before the idea of noir shit as a descendent of revenge plays!!!!!!!!!!!! and it totally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like and the main character in both cases Has To Seek Justice In A World Which No Longer Cares To and its all, but is that the morally right position to take? or, how should justice be enacted? and in what ways are justice and revenge tied up for the main character --- since Noir Detectives a lot of times have a huge personal stake in the things they're detectiving and no for real hamlet as the first noir detective works really well oh no.
