Relationship of Hamlet and Gertrude
In the Shakespearean represent village, the conflict between critical point and his take, Gertrude, is parallel to the main conflict of the story. Hamlet is motivated to avenge by the shade after he is upset when Gertrude marries Claudius. Hamlets view of society, in particular women, is also shaped by his commences decisions, thus underdeveloped his character Hamlets character is shown as indecisive when he decides to stage his mother. As the play starts, Hamlet is disappointed with his mothers marriage to Claudius.He expresses his disparity by complaining about Gertrude marrying Claudius within two month of his begets final stage. In act one of the play, Hamlet says, O around wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets It is not nor it cannot make sense to good, and break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue(1. 2. 156-8). Here Hamlet reveals his discomfort with his mothers race which leads to his wanting to get revenge. But at that point, the Gho st of King Hamlet appears to give him an ultimate propose of avenging his death.Through the play, Hamlet works toward accomplishing that goal driven by discomfort toward Gertrudes relation with Claudius. Hamlet makes kind comment about women that are prejudicious in nature. He usually makes those comments to Ophelia, for example when he tells her to go to the nunnery. These comments even are fueled by his anger toward his mother. At the beginning of the play he sees Ophelia as a pure woman, but his view falsifys everyplace time. This is a reflection of his view toward his mother as apparent by Hamlets remark about his mothers kindred with Claudius.At first Hamlet is not sure about why his mother married Claudius, but he quickly decides that the decision his mother make was based on womens weak mind. The weakness of women is a social bias of Shakespearean plays. Hamlet decides that he is not going to confront his mother at the beginning of the play, after he sees Claudius feel ing vicious about his murder Hamlet chooses to confront his mother and tell her the justice because he trusts her. Even then his mother does not believe him and thinks he is crazy. This shows that Gertrude is not on Hamlets side but on Claudiuss side.This fuels Hamlets anger toward Claudius even more. Also Hamlets change in mind to trust his mother shows his indecisive character, which develops through the play. The relationship between Gertrude and Hamlet is never made completely wee-wee during the play. Hamlets dislike of his mothers relationship with Claudius is very clear however. While Hamlet is motivated to avenge his fathers death by Gertrudes action, he is uncertain about whether it his completely his mothers fault as seen by him trusting his mother.
