Hamlet Blog 1 1/29/2012

I find that Claudius is very patronizing to Hamlet. It seems to me that he is trying to replace the old king, but he's doing so by simply assuming that he is accepted as the replacement. I get the feeling that not many of the people near Hamlet really accept him as the new king. It also strikes me as incredibly odd that Gertrude decided to marry her husband's brother so close to his death. If I were in Hamlet's position, this would be so incredibly foreign to me, let alone weird. I just don't think that this would be well accepted, definitely not as well as it has been in the play.
