Hamlet and Gertrude have a complicated relationship. After a visit from his dead father, Hamlet learns about the murder and suspects that her mother was somehow involved.
Her swift marriage to Claudius, her brother in law after the king’s murder makes Hamlet condemn her moral conduct and lascivious intentions.
Gertrude believes that Hamlet is hurt and sad but Hamlet appears more angry for her marrying Claudius than even his father’s death. This has led to speculations of an incestuous angle and oedipal complex between the two.
