Hamlet Act 1 scene 2

In the beginning of this scene the queen and Hamlet's Uncle just got married. The queen in which was originally married to Hamlet's father who had died. Hamlet's shadowy entrance shows the betrayal of his mother marrying his uncle and the sadness of his father's death. Hamlet's first soliliquey was the first quote that crossed my attention. It starts from lines 129 to line 159 on page 27 and 28. This shows the displeasure of his uncle and mother marrying "but two months" after his father's death. He is still in mourning and can't believe the betrayal of a mother and uncle to a father. This scene is nicely illustrated with him alone speaking what's in his mind that he can not say to anyone. This shows his true downfall in the entire book the death of a loving father. He is soon interupted by that of Horatio and Marcellus with the news of his father's ghost. This peaks some hope in young Hamlet as he asked if his "beard was grizzled" all characteristics which Haratio answered back with "it was, as I have seen it all my life." This scene also shows the bond of Horatio and Hamlet with his father connecting them both. Hamlet soon starts to fill discourage as in wondering why his father's ghost was still around and "armed" as if trying to figure out the source of the mystery. This draws a mysterious effect to the scene as to his the ghost really his father and why is he still here? Was he murdered? This is just the beginning of all the questions in the book and the start of the madness of Hamlet.
