She's not a doctor. Claudius claimed that Hamlet Sr. died of a snakebite, and she had no reason to believe otherwise. The key line is her response to Hamlet's "Almost as bad, dear mother, as to kill a king and marry with his brother." Hamlet is accusing her of the murder, but her response "To kill a king?" shows that to Gertrude the real shocker in Hamlet's statement is that his father was murdered at all. She had no idea.
What else can I help you with?
Did Claudius seduce Gertrude before king hamlet died?
We cannot answer that. We know that Claudius was in love with her before King Hamlet's death because he lists "his queen" as one of the motives of the murder. Whether she reciprocated we cannot say.
How does Gertrude die in Hamlet?
Gertrude accidentally drinks from the poisoned cup, which Polonius had intended for Hamlet to drink from during his duel with Laertes. (In some productions, Gertrude knows that the cup is poisoned and drinks it anyway, to atone for her involvement in her husband's murder, or to save her son's life, or both.)
What is the decoration for Gertrude's room in Hamlet?
I think I know the play pretty well, but I can't think of any "decoration" in Queen Gertrude's "closet" [her study and sewing room]. Maybe the question refers to these lines: "Look here, upon this picture, and on this, / The counterfeit presentment of two brothers." In these lines Hamlet refers to two pictures of two brothers: King Hamlet (Hamlet's father) and King Claudius (Hamlet's uncle). In performance, those pictures are sometimes represented as pictures on the wall of Queen Gertrude's closet, but they can also be represented as lockets, with Queen Gertrude's locket containing the picture of King Claudius, and Hamlet's locket containing the picture of his father, King Hamlet.

How does Hamlet plan to catch the conscience of the king?
This line is from Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2. Prince Hamlet has been told by the ghost of his father, King Hamlet, that Prince Hamlet's uncle, King Claudius, murdered his own brother, King Hamlet. Claudius then married the dead King Hamlet's wife and Prince Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude. Since Hamlet does not know if the ghost is truly his father and telling the truth, he devises a plan that he believes will prove if what the ghost has said is true. Actors have come to perform at Elsinore Castle for King Claudius and Queen Gertrude. Hamlet asks them to use his altered version of the play, in order to "catch the conscience of the King." The alteration tells the story of a Queen whose husband is murdered by poison. The poisoner then woos the Queen with gifts. Though she rejects him for awhile, in the end she accepts his love. Hamlet plans to watch Claudius' reaction to the altered portion of the play, and discern from that response if Claudius is guilty. His fear of King Claudius' power, and his desire to shame his mother, Queen Gertrude, is the reason for Hamlet's indirect method of accusing the King. If Hamlet's plan doesn't work, he will still be free to pursue other possibilities.

Who Hamlet loves?

Why does Claudius murder Hamlet's father?
It was an accident. He didn't know it was Polonius. He thought it was the King. O.k. in one scene of "Hamlet", when Hamlet approached his Mother, the Queen and argued with her, saying that she's evil and has no love for her previous husband (Hamlet's father, the King) and doesn't like being his Mother. Enraged, she walked away, but Hamlet grabbed her by the wrist and said "Listen to me!". She was so frightened, she called for help. Then Polonius, who was hiding behing a curtain, called "Help!". Then Hamlet, mistaking it for the King's voice, took out his sword and stabbed the curtain, killing Polonius. Claudius...Apexxx
