Hamlet is upset because his uncle, Claudius killed his father, married his mother, and took his place at the throne. He is also upset because he can't do anything about it throughout the whole play.

He's heartbroken immediately when Ophelia listens to Polonius's advice and ends their relationship. You can see this in II.i when he approaches her but says nothing, when Hamlet talks to Polonius (the fishmonger scene), his poem to her which Polonius reads to Claudius and Gertruede, at the play when he's teasing her about 'there's a good thing to lie between a maiden's legs' and most importantly at her graveside.

Also, his great speech to her (when he knows P and C are spying) is definitely indicative of his feelings. It's the underlying theme of what he's saying to her (about wearing make up to mask her true feelings).

Hope this helps!

Why does Hamlet dwell on the incestous sheets?

Gertrude and Claudius were in-laws before the murder of King Hamlet. When they married afterwards, it was considered incest. Hamlet was upset by his mother's speedy marriage because it suggests she didn't mourn for her husband properly. Also, the idea of marrying her husband's brother disgusts and angers Hamlet, particularly since Gertrude is getting old and "The heyday in the blood is tame". Hamlet disapproves of the marriage which is why he's always thinking about it.
