Family in Hamlet
Claudius: “But now, my cousin Hamlet and my son,” Hamlet: [Aside] “A little more than kin, and less than kind”
Claudius: “How is it that the clouds still hang on you?

”
Hamlet: “Not so, my lord; I am too much i' the sun.” Gertrude: “Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off”. (1.2.66-70)
Hamlet's continued mourning while Claudius is needfully desirous that Hamlet stop mourning his father's death and start celebrating his mother's new husband, the country's new King and his own new father.
“Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father; But you must know, your father lost a father; That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound In filial obligation for some term to do obsequious sorrow. But to perserver in obstinate condolement is a course of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief" (1.2.89-96)
Claudius telling Hamlet he is just being stubborn and should get over his father as it has been a month and the time for mourning has passed.
“A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--
O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer--married with my uncle,
My father's brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules” (1.2.151-158)
Hamlet is frustrated with his mother and her lack of mourning for his father after his funeral. She had married Hamlet’s uncle less than a month after the funeral. Hamlet is disgusted and compares Claudius as being as much like his father as he to Hercules.
“She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
with such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not nor it cannot come to good:
But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.” (1.2.161-164)
Hamlet not only takes issue with his mother's quick remarriage after his father's death, he's also and accuses Gertrude of being guilty of "incest." The death of his father and marriage of his uncle were so close that the sheets may not have been changed.
“but you must fear,
His greatness weigh'd, his will is not his own;
For he himself is subject to his birth:
He may not, as unvalued persons do,
Carve for himself; for on his choice depends
The safety and health of this whole state;
And therefore must his choice be circumscribed
Unto the voice and yielding of that body
Whereof he is the head.” (1.3.19-27)
Laertes tells Ophelia that Hamlet can't marry who he wants to—he has to marry for the safety of the entire state and Ophelia is just entertainment for the time being until he takes the throne. Laertes insists that a marriage between Ophelia and Hamlet is impossible. Marrying for love? That was for the commoners.
“Then if he says he loves you,
It fits your wisdom so far to believe it
As he in his particular act and place
May give his saying deed; which is no further
Than the main voice of Denmark goes withal.
Then weigh what loss your honour may sustain,
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmaster'd opportunity.” (1.3.27-36)
Here, Laertes tells Ophelia that, if she sleeps with Hamlet, she'll lose her honor. Ophelia's chances for a future marriage could be compromised if she does.
““But if’t be he I mean, he’s very wild, addicted so and so.” and there put on him
What forgeries you please; marry, none so rank
As may dishonour him; take heed of that;
But, sir, such wanton, wild and usual slips
As are companions noted and most known
To youth and liberty.” (2.1.20-26)
Polonius spies on his kid while he's away at college. And he's not the only one. Claudius, Hamlet's step-father/uncle, also goes to great lengths to find out what Hamlet's up to.
“O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven;
It hath the primal eldest curse upon't, 
A brother's murder.” (3.3.40-43) As King Claudius prays, he acknowledges that, by murdering his brother, Old Hamlet, he has brought upon himself the oldest and first curse, which is a reference to the biblical story of Cain, who committed the first murder when he killed his brother Abel.
Gertrude: “Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.”
Hamlet: “Mother, you have my father much offended.” (3.4.12-13)
Ugh, mom, it’s not like he’s my real dad…

His decision not to act starts a trend of procrastination, and these decisions of inactivity will continue to be the main source of his problems throughout his speeches and the play.…

    His ability to overlook Claudius’s devious smile and snide comments allow Hamlet to understand his ulterior motives of ultimate control and tremendous wealth. Prince Hamlet felt forsaken by both his mother and Claudius when they chose to join in marriage just after the death of his father. Hamlet mourned over the death of his father for quite some time, and Claudius did not complete a single act to console him, but rather debase and disgrace him. Cruel treatment and cold actions from Claudius constituted Hamlet’s assertion regarding his true motivations. When Prince Hamlet discovered this had not been a mistake but rather Claudius’s plan the entire time, sadness turns to rage and his bitter emotions towards Claudius became immensely…

    Since Hamlet is understandably disturbed by the sudden death of his father and his mother's hasty marriage to his uncle, King Claudius, the abnormality of his behavior to some extent also understandable. Hamlet is naturally withdrawn, dark, and morose in the wake of these traumatic events. And, by the same token, when he gives vent to his abject mood with lines like "How…

    Ghost In Hamlet

    • 6 Pages

    Hamlet was considered to be wallowing in self-pity over everything that had recently transpired. His father’s death, his mother’s marriage to his uncle as well as he had been stripped of his rightful place as King of Denmark. Hamlet was of high morals and religious background. He was raised within the Lutheran Christian Faith and was appalled by everyone’s behavior. Resentment now raised its ugly head towards his mother in her “incestuous” union when Hamlet during his soliloquy, proclaims “Frailty, thy name is Woman!” to reflect his disgust of her weakness. But due to the love for his mother Hamlet keeps his resentment and disappointment to himself at this time. Faced with the realization of the murder of his father, who he had idolized and compared to a Greek sun-god and whose ghost has demanded revenge in order to leave purgatory, Hamlet is further torn between his moral values and his Christian faith, as his faith does not allow murder (“Thou shall not…

    Hamlet Father and Sons

    King Hamlet must have been a good father for his son to be so devoted and loyal to him. It almost seems that the Prince made an idol of his father. In Prince Hamlet's first soliloquy he described his father as an excellent king, a god-like figure and a loving husband. It is strange that the Prince did not convey information about being a loving father. It is left for us to infer that there must have been a special bond between father and son for the Prince to be so willing to carry out retribution against his father's murderer.…

    In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the emphasis placed on a parent-child relationship is vital, as family plays an important role in developing a character’s values as well as bringing stability to their life. Throughout the play Hamlet, the values brought on by a parent are instrumental in developing a character’s familial obligation and sense of purpose. Following the loss of their fathers, the characters of Ophelia, Laertes and Hamlet lose the motivation and stability their fathers once provided. In order to fulfill their obligations to their late fathers, each character must look for a new sense of purpose, which ultimately leads to their death.…

    Hamlet's peaceful life was flipped upside down very quickly. His father, King Hamlet, died, and his mother remarried his uncle very shortly after his father's death. Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, took the throne that Hamlet rightfully deserved. While trying to work out this awkward situation, Hamlet is met by the ghost of his father. The ghost explains that he did not die, it was through a "murder most foul," that he was killed by his own brother. Hamlet is left not sure what to believe, only making his anger worse. He is angry at his mother for going through with such a hasty marriage so soon after the king's death. This is evident when he states, "Frailty, thy name is woman," expressing his dissatisfaction with his mother's choices. He is also upset with Claudius as he says, "A little more than kin and less than kind," of their relationship. It is difficult for him since he has no like for Claudius even though they are now even more closely related.…

    Day 1 - I was once again reminded of my mothers’ marriage to my uncle, Claudius. To this day I still feel disgusted and outraged that either of them would think it is morally okay to do such a thing. My father had only past away under a month before my mother had married my father’s brother. I think it’s terribly disrespectful and ignorant towards my father. He would have given the world and more. He loved her more then anything, and I don’t understand how she marry his brother in such short time, and not feel guilty or disgusted by herself. It just astonishes me.…

    Love is one of the most prevailing themes in Hamlet; the characters involved demonstrate a number of intricate emotions as the play progresses. We see Hamlet's filial love for his mother, esoteric love for Ophelia and Hamlet's platonic companionship with Horatio. However, Hamlet’s filial love for his father is foremost which causes conflicting thoughts to overwhelm him once an apparition in his father’s figure returns. The play opens when two guards, Marcellus and Barnardo, apprise Horatio about the appearance of an impression in the king’s image.…
