Hamlet+1.2

1. Hamlets uncle is talking to everyone about him marrying Hamlets mother less then a month later then Hamlets father dying and he says that it was pretty much his duty to do so and that he will take good care of Denmark. He also grates Laertes permission to go back to France since his father said it was ok to do so but he asks Hamlet to stay with him next to his mother. Also he asks Hamlet to stop mourning about his father and stop wearing black. Then The guards come to talk to Hamlet about the ghost they saw and Hamlet decides to join them that night and he hopes to see his father very much.

4. "Seems," madam? Nay it is. I know not 'seems'./'Tis not alone my inky cloak, (good) mother,/ Nor customary suits of solemn black,/ Nor windy suspiration of forced breath,/ ....(1.2.79-89). This quote shows the difference between reality and appearance. he might appear to be in mourning and he really is but his mom earlier says it seems which wrong because he is, hes not seeming to be in mourning because hes actually mourning.

5. When Hamlet's uncle has that really long speech to Hamlet about staying at Denmark with him and his mom i find it funny that he would make him do that when Hamlet is trying to mourn about his father and he basically tells Hamlet to stop mourning about his father and get on with his life when it has been less then 2months since his father has died and he already has another father figure to look up to even though i think he doesnt like his uncle very much.
