Detailed explanation-1: -When Hamlet reflects on the charged power of the tragic theater, the figure who haunts his imagination is Hecuba, Queen of Troy, whose tragedy came to define the genre in sixteenth-century Europe. As a bereaved mourner who seeks revenge, Hecuba offers a female version of Hamlet.
Detailed explanation-2: -’O, What A Rogue And Peasant Slave Am I’, Spoken by Hamlet, Act 2 Scene 2. O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I! With forms to his conceit? and all for nothing! For Hecuba!
Detailed explanation-3: -As Hamlet watches the First Player perform a speech about the legendary Queen Hecuba, Hamlet is amazed to see the Player begin to weep. Hamlet compares himself to the Player: while the Player weeps for a person he never knew, Hamlet has so far done nothing to avenge his own murdered father.
Detailed explanation-4: -Angered by his parent’s unjust death, the grieving son aims to take revenge. He wishes to take Priam’s life in front of his loving wife, Hecuba. The story corresponds to Hamlet’s storyline. The main hero openly shows his intentions of avenging his father’s death.
