ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -Hamlet admits that Claudius is now more than a family relation but he does not like him or his actions. Hamlet doesn’t like the fact that Claudius has married his mother only weeks after his father died. Claudius also tells Hamlet not to grieve for his father so much.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why and when does the ghost disappear? How does Hamlet feel about the King and Queen? He thinks his uncle is not worthy of the title of king, and that his dad is barely buried and his mom has already moved on. Angry and betrayed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Again Hamlet reveals his preoccupation with the disparity between appearance and reality. Claudius appears to be a powerful man, yet harbors a decided weakness for wine and revelry. Thus, says Hamlet, Claudius makes all Danes seem drunkards to their critics and attracts disrespect from both allies and enemies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Claudius is the newly crowned King of Denmark and husband to Gertrude. He is Hamlet’s uncle.
