You don't take a revenge - you simply take revenge on someone.

Hamlet took revenge on his uncle, Claudius.

You can say take revenge on(or against) some one or take revenge for something; as:

It is about how prince hamlet took revenge on/against his uncle Claudius. (no article before revenge)
It is about how prince hamlet took revenge for the death of his father.

This may be more information than you want but the subject of your post suggests you may have come across the word 'avenge'. Hamlet avenged his father by taking revenge on Claudius..

ps I've merged two threads, and kept the offending title! That's why the OP starts off by asking the same question twice.
