Detailed explanation-1: -What does Gertrude suggest is the cause of Hamlet’s odd behavior? Gertrude thinks Hamlet’s father’s death and her quick marriage are the causes of his odd behavior.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern exit, she tells Claudius about her encounter with Hamlet. She says that he is as mad as the sea during a violent storm; she also tells Claudius that Hamlet has killed Polonius.
Detailed explanation-3: -Claudius Lines 87-117 Claudius tells Hamlet that while grief for his father is appropriate, it’s inappropriate for him to continue grieving for so long. He tells him it is weak and unmanly to wallow in this grief. He tells Hamlet to think of him as being a new father to him.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gertrude and Claudius encourage him to cease grieving and to get on with life. Gertrude asks Hamlet why he seems so particularly affected by his father’s death, and Hamlet snaps at her that, unlike his mother and her husband, he has no pretenses.
