Because she married the brother of her very recently dead husband. Her first husband was both the previous king and Hamlet's father. Hamlet eventually learns that his uncle, now his stepfather and the new King of Denmark, murdered his father in order to steal both his wife and his crown. Hamlet makes many bitter comments about the 'incestuous' marriage bed and the unseemly haste with which his mother, Gertrude, married her husband's brother. When he is convinced that his uncle actually did murder his father, at first doubting his own sanity after seeing and speaking with his father's ghost, Hamlet kills his uncle. Gertrude, who had no part in her first husband's murder, is slain by accident, and Hamlet himself is murdered during the climactic final scenes.
