(Shakespeare 185). He urges his mother Gertrude to remain chaste. He describes the way his uncle, Claudius would engage with her, sexually. This grotesque description of Gertrude and Claudius’ interactions makes the reader question Hamlet and his view of his relationship with his mother.

Hamlet clearly shows resentment towards his mother’s sexual life while showing interest and jealousy towards his uncle
