Shakespeare's careful delineation of Hamlet as Horatio's "honoured lord" (1.2.221), as a man who inspires "Our duty to your honour" (1.2.253), and as a lover who has approached Ophelia "with love / In honourable fashion" (1.3.16) makes clear that if Hamlet swears revenge against his father's murderer, then as a man of honor in the chivalric tradition, he must carry out that revenge no matter the cost.
