Yes, reminds me of Godfather III (son Michael Corleone) and even more like Hamlet
Corruption In Shakespeare: Corruption As A Play Theme
"…Corruption reveals itself differently in Hamlet. The play is saturated with images of corruption. The rottenness in the state of Denmark is reflected everywhere in images of ill health, weeds overwhelming healthy plants, everything decaying and rotting, and poison killing wholesome things. Right at the beginning of the play a minor character, Francisco, says ‘I am sick at heart,’ setting the tone for the whole text.
We are constantly reminded of the pervading atmosphere of decay. Throughout the play we can trace a path of corruption, that leads to death, through images of disease in the characters of Polonius, Claudius and Hamlet.
Polonius is an obviously corrupt character. His corruption has occurred long before the play begins. He has a courteous, long-winded, comical manner but with a nastiness at his core. He is dominating: we see that in the way he instructs Laertes: ‘These few precepts in thy memory/ Look thou character.’ He is not only domineering in his abuse of Ophelia, he is also controlling and dismissive of her as a daughter and a woman. We then see him being meddling and subversive, setting spies on his own son, and finally, fatally corrupt as he schemes and plots for Hamlet’s death. His own death is retribution for that.
The centre of corruption in the kingdom and in the play is Claudius. When Marcellus states, ‘Something is rotten in the state of Denmark he is talking about Denmark’s relationship with Norway but on the symbolic level he is summing up Claudius’ corrupting effect on the kingdom which is intensified by his unpunished crime. Claudius’ corrupt actions carry him to the throne and pollute the people around him causing chaos, sorrow and death. The image of rotting along with its stench permeating far and wide symbolizes the infectious quality of sin.
Hamlet tries to separate his noble qualities, which we have seen throughout the play, from the circumstance and treachery against which he has struggled, and in which he has been entangled. He has also become corrupted. He is unable to act – any action he takes will be morally dubious.Not taking revenge will reduce him and make him unfit for rule by his own standards, and taking revenge will do the same. He is trapped in a corrupt circle from which there is no escape.By the end of the play he has murdered five people and caused the suicide of one. But he has routed the corruption around him. From a morally dubious situation, he is able to wrest an honourable death, and the chance of stability for the future of his country.
Corruption leads to the death of all three – Polonius, Claudius and Hamlet – and Hamlet has to die: there is no way around it. He has drawn all the corruption on to himself and, with his death, destroyed it."
