Hamlet

Usually when I read books and see movies I try to relate to the characters, but for Hamlet its hard to. I think given his situation he kind of handled it pretty well. Think about it, if you had a dream with your father telling you who his killer was and that it was his own brother, what could you do? On top of all this his uncle is replacing his father. But even with all this hate for his uncle, how could he possibly explain to anyone that his dead father told him his uncle killed him? He doesn't even have plausible evidence. If I was him however I would've kept the secret to myself calmly nd just killed him in his sleep.
I also have to think about the mother. What self respecting woman marries their brother in law when their husband dies? She obviously has some demons she has to battle, apart from being morally weak.
