Detailed explanation-1: -Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother and Queen of Denmark. She was married to the murdered King Hamlet (represented by the Ghost in the play) and has subsequently wed Claudius, his brother.
Detailed explanation-2: -In William Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother and Queen of Denmark. Her relationship with Hamlet is somewhat turbulent, since he resents her marrying her husband’s brother Claudius after he murdered the king (young Hamlet’s father, King Hamlet).
Detailed explanation-3: -Gertrude marries Claudius two months after the death of her husband. Hamlet believes that is too short for mourning and his famous charge forms in this context: “Frailty, thy name is woman.”
Detailed explanation-4: -Therefore, marrying Claudius was possibly the only way for Gertrude to keep the crown in the same family and give Hamlet a chance to be a king but also delay his ascension to the throne. This scheme works only with the assumption that Gertrude loves her son.
Detailed explanation-5: -Claudius is the newly crowned King of Denmark and husband to Gertrude. He is Hamlet’s uncle. Gertrude is Hamlet’s mother and the queen. She married Claudius shortly after her husband died.
