They want him to stop. They are thinking about how happy their marital bliss will be and he is going all Gothic. Gertrude tries to gently persuade him to cheer up, as does Claudius, although his argument is a little more forceful. But basically they both tell him to get over it. People die; that is their nature. You have to just accept that and move on.

Gertrude thinks it is "nothing but the main: his father's death and our own o'erhasty marriage". She's a sharp woman.

Claudius thinks that there is something in his soul "on which his melancholy sits on brood. And I doubt the hatch and the disclose will be some danger." He's no slouch either.

How did Vietnamese peasants respond to the strategic hamlets program?

The Vietnamese peasants hated the Strategic Hamlets Program for several reasons. First, ancestor worship was very important to the mostly Buddhist villagers. Relocation took them far away from their ancestor's resting places. Second, there was widespread corruption with the program, and although the peasants were promised pay for their work, officials often stole their wages. Third, security was a joke since the forces couldn't always be readily reached, leaving villagers to fend for themselves.
