I think that Hamlet is upset by he's father death and within 2 months of the death his mother already married his uncle. Already annoyed by the fact his mother moved on quickly, he finds out that he's father was viciously murdered by his uncle. Hamlet feels like he's a coward and is angry at himself for not being able to stand up for his father and take revenge for him as he had promised. He's confused as to how to get back at his uncle and ends up coming up with a plan where he gets actors to act out the murder scene of his father so that he can observe any unusual reactions he's uncle might do. I think Hamlet is being set back because he knows his mother's in love with his uncle and therefore doesn't want to 'break' her heart again as she seems happy.

An interesting point, however i don't think Hamlet cares about his mother's well being that much, he's still made at her for marrying Claudius and still views her as a bit of a slut.
ReplyDeletegood interpretation, hamlet is definately dealing with many traumatic emotions and doesnt know how to deal with them sufficiently, i think that his plot using the play is very cunning because how else can he deal with this effectively however i dont think his mother is an issue in his mind, he is angry at her because she has gone of with Claudius;if anything he feels betrayed by her and sees her as a bit of a slag for committing incest especially so soon after her beloved first husbands death
