Detailed explanation-1: -Prince Hamlet is the son of Queen Gertrude and the late King Hamlet. He is grief-stricken by his father’s recent death and upset over his mother’s hasty remarriage to his uncle.
Detailed explanation-2: -He is upset because she married his late father’s brother Claudius. Hamlet thinks that remarriage in such circumstances is unacceptable. Through Hamlet’s disappointment with his mother, his anger is increased towards Claudius.
Detailed explanation-3: -For Hamlet, his mother’s marriage is as disgusting as incest, and he is sure that “it is not, nor it cannot come to good.” However, perhaps because no one else sees it his way, he says “I must hold my tongue."
Detailed explanation-4: -He turns to his mother, declaring that he will wring her heart. He shows her a picture of the dead king and a picture of the current king, bitterly comments on the superiority of his father to his uncle, and asks her furiously what has driven her to marry a rotten man such as Claudius.
