We know what he is thinking about because of his soliloquy in Act 1 Scene 2, "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt . . ." What he is upset about is his mother's remarriage. He didn't much like his uncle before, and now he positively hates him for marrying his mother. We actually get this message in somewhat cryptic form in Hamlet's first line of the play "A little more than kin and less than kind"--it really bugs him that Claudius is "a little more than kin."
