Gertrude's first husband was King Hamlet. King Hamlet was the brother of Claudius. This makes Claudius and Gertrude in-laws. After Claudius murders King Hamlet, he marries Gertrude, so they are then husband and wife.
Claudius advises Hamlet to stop mourning his father's death and start celebrating the marriage between him and Hamlet's mother. He calls Hamlet's attitude"stubborn and unmanly." A little insensitive considering Hamlet's father has only been dead for 2 months at the time.
Lol... Claudius his brother
The ghost confirms hat Claudius murdered his father.
Hamlet is suicidal because his father, who was very dear to him, had just been murdered by Hamlet's uncle, Claudius. Within two short months of his father's murder, Hamlet's mother, Gertrude then married that very same Claudius. This is the main reason as to Hamlet's suicidal tendancies but he is also very mixed up in his head due to encounters with his father's ghost.
Hamlet was dressed wholly in black because he was in mourning for his dead father, the late King Hamlet. This bothers Claudius and Gertrude because rather than mourning his father's death, he should be celebrating their new marriage. Furthermore, it is "unmanly" for Hamlet to be displaying such grief.
Gertrude's first husband was King Hamlet. King Hamlet was the brother of Claudius. This makes Claudius and Gertrude in-laws. After Claudius murders King Hamlet, he marries Gertrude, so they are then husband and wife.
Hamlet's uncle Claudius killed Hamlet's father (called Hamlet Sr.). The ghost of Hamlet Sr. comes back from the dead and tells Hamlet Jr. so. Hamlet Jr. confirms this by re-enacting the murder as a play, which upsets Uncle Claudius.
Hamlet's father's rival was Hamlet's stepfasther, Gertrude's second husband, Claudius.
Hamlet's father is dead. His uncle (Claudius) marries his mother. Hamlet sees his father's ghost and the ghost tells him that Claudius murdered him. Hamlet seeks revenge and kills Claudius. Hamlet also dies. There are many others plots in Hamlet but that is the main one
Claudius is Hamlet's uncle (his father's brother)
Claudius married Hamlet's mother and became Hamlet's stepfather in the place of his father. He also replaced Hamlet's father as king.
Hamlet is told by the ghost of his father that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle Claudius who is now the king and Hamlet's stepfather. In the process of pursuing his revenge, Hamlet kills Polonius, Claudius's counsellor and the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. Ophelia goes mad and dies, and her brother Laertes comes vowing vengeance for his father's death. Laertes and Claudius plot Hamlet's death, but although Hamlet is mortally wounded, their plot misfires, killing Hamlet's mother and Laertes. Hamlet kills Claudius before he, too, expires.
Hamlet's mother married his uncle (his father's brother) after his father's death.
Hamlet's father is murdered by Claudius (Hamlet's uncle).
His brother, Claudius, came out into the garden while King Hamlet was sleeping and poured poison into his ear.
The uncle poured poison down his father's ear. Hamlet suspects that Claudius, his uncle, is a murderer in that he suspects that Claudius killed Hamlet's father, Claudius's brother, in order to become King. When the Ghost reveals to Hamlet that he was killed by Claudius, Hamlet's immediate reaction is, "O my prophetic soul! My uncle?"--which is a pretty clear indication that Hamlet had some serious suspicions beforehand.
