Mommy Issues Blog 27

Hamlets attack on his mother stems from something that seems like a deep Oedipus complex. Hamlet believes his mother has wronged him but seems to focus greatly on the fact that his mother is sleeping with his uncle; however, it seems that hamlet would be upset over anyone sleeping with his mother. Hamlets rant to his mother is the first time that hamlet is in the same room with his mother alone and he tells her his whole plan and tries to give her a mirror so she can see the wrong she has committed. While his intensions are not flawed, his obsession with his mother’s sex life is very awkward to say the least and his insulting her intimacy is strange. Hamlet also uses extremely harsh language to try and force his mother to see the wrong she has committed but overall while hamlet is very stern and angry with his mother, it is more of an awkward argument because of hamlets inner desires.
