Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2

-Hamlet, the king has died recently 
-They are grieving but they need to move on
-Hamlets mom married his uncle who is now the king. 
-"a little more than kin, and less than kind." (Hamlets first statement) 
   ~created situational and dramatic irony 
   ~he meant that his uncle shouldn't call him son and he resents Claudius 
-Hamlet won't let Claudius in 
-visage is a facial expression that hamlet used to say that he wasn't showing what he was feeling 
-the outside doesn't portray what people are feeling on the inside
-calls out people who show that they are grieving for his father but may not be actually feeling any grief 
-hamlet wished that suicide wasn't a sin because he would kill himself because he's so angry because he doesn't want to watch what is happening 
-very angry with his mom 
-hamlet's mom married his uncle within a month of his father dying 
-he sees this as betrayal to him and his dad 
-he thought she would mourn longer if she really loved his dad 
- he was very quick to believe that the ghost of his dad was outside the castle 
-he asked many questions about how the ghost of his dad looked when the guards saw him
-asked only fact based questions 
-honorable and humble towards the servants
