Hamlet - Essay Structure (thematic examples?)

What's the most appropriate way to structure an answer for a question on Hamlet?

If the question read "choose a play which has a theme of revenge or betrayal. Show how the dramatist explores your chosen theme and discuss how this treatment enhances your appreciation of the play as a whole," how should I formulate an answer?

Should I structure the thematic examples according to when they appear in the play or according to their importance/relevance to the question?

Also, if the question read "choose a play with a scene which you found shocking" would it be best to analyse each incident of the scene in the order they happen? Additionally, how should I relate the key incidents in the scene to other related instances in the play and how should I discuss the scenes importance to the text as a whole?

I have an exam soon and any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I have not read Hamlet by Shakespeare for a long time. However, based on your question, I can formulate an answer. Write about what happened as a result of when _______ took revenge at _______. Talk about how it affected the whole play and how it makes you like the play even more. Structure it according to the importance of the question.
