-hamlets dad died pretty recent (grieving) however life is for living so we must go on! -king Claudius 
-hamlets wife re married the new king! She's queen again! 
-Claudius is the king now.
-tricks them by saying don't focus on our own problems, but yet what is out there. 
-"a little more than kin, and less than kind" -hamlet (speaks out of side of mouth)  he means there friends but don't call me son I don't really like you.
-He cleverly gives the new king a F-u 
-The king replays to Hamlet by saying it's life everyone's father dies, and also calls Hamlet peevish (childish)
-Hamlet is not describe by direct or indirect techniques, but yet he describes himself in a monologue.
-He doesn't want to kill himself, he is
Pissed. He just doesn't want to be in the situation and around the stuff going on.
-He calls his mom a hoe in the way she just. Jumped straight to her ex husbands brother after his death. 
-Once hamlet finds out about his dad's ghost he has a feeling there is some foul play going on.
