    portrayal of women‚ that may correspond to Shakespeare’s own feeling toward women. In Hamlet both Gertrude and Ophelia show signs of a lack of mental fortitude in comparison to the prominent male characters‚ being Hamlet‚ Claudius‚ and Fortinbras. Both of their actions seem in many ways to be irrational‚ and yet said actions occurred as an effect of the prominent male characters actions‚ implying that they never had any control over what would transpire.
