Claudius and Gertrude try to deal with Hamlet's sadness by giving a touching speech about how everything must die "passing from nature to eternity." Also, Claudius promises a party at which he will have his guards shoot canonns off every time he finishes a drink.

What kind of husband do you suppose king hamlet to have been?

It's actually pretty hard to tell. We always seem to see him through Hamlet's eyes, and Hamlet's view of him is twisted because he idolized his father (he is constantly comparing him to one of the gods) and hates his uncle and is always comparing them. We know that the real King Hamlet was a fearsome warrior because of what he did to Old Fortinbras, and how he "smote the sledded Polacks on the ice." He seems to have been an angry, quarrelsome, and stern old geezer, and not at all pleasant. Small wonder Gertrude felt her affection shifting to his brother.


What is the difference between Claudius' treatment of Laertes and his treatment of Hamlet?

Quite a lot. He respected Laertes, in public at least, and had no evil plans to kill him. Polonius, Laertes' dad, was Claudius' right hand man, and so Claudius had no reason to treat Laertes badly. Conversely, Claudius could never truly see Hamlet through the eyes of a father figure (as he told him he did) because C had killed Hamlet's dad. When the king found out that Hamlet knew about the murder of Hamlet snr., Claudius obviously distanced himself from Hamlet, even sending him to England to be killed.


Where does the King plan to send Hamlet?

Claudius tries to send Hamlet to England, accompanied by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. However, R & G don't know it's a mission to have Hamlet killed. We can be certain of that just because of the fact that they continue to England without Hamlet.


How does claudius feel about Hamlet?

Director's call. Claudius seems well-disposed to Hamlet at the start, but faced with Hamlet's insane (but not really insane) behaviour and the murder of Claudius's chief counsellor (a murder in which Claudius correctly identifies himself as the intended victim) his disposition towards him sours. Understandably so. By Act 4 he has decided that Hamlet must be killed because he's too darn dangerous. "Do it, England, for like the hectic in my blood he rages, and thou must cure me."


How does Claudius treat laetes differently from Hamlet in act 1 scene 2?

Laertes wants to go to Paris, he's allowed to go to Paris. Hamlet wants to go to Wittenberg, and what he gets is "As for your desire to return to school in Wittenberg, it is most retrograde to our desire." Hamlet has to stay at home so his uncle can keep an eye on him.
