Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -’Tis unmanly grief Claudius tries to sound friendly but is very critical of Hamlet, here suggesting that his grief makes him unmanly. Claudius lectures Hamlet, saying about the same thing that Gertrude did, but suggesting that Hamlet’s actions are against heaven.
