We will never know the extent of his feeling. Death of children was not an unusual thing at that time and people did not get as frantic about it as they do now. They got sad, but they also accepted that this sort of thing happened. Shakespeare himself had watched his sister Anne die at the age of eight. He was not apparently in Stratford at the time Hamnet died, but was on tour in Kent. It might have taken some time for the news to get to him, by which time Hamnet was likely already buried. Did this affect him profoundly? We have so little record of his emotional life, we cannot know.
