Because it's Claudius and in Hamlet's mind nothing Claudius does is done right. Claudius is only following custom, but that isn't good enough: Hamlet sneers that it is a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.

What are the similarities between Othello and Desdemona?
Although Ophelia and Nala have different personalities and portrayals, both characters are similar to each other because they are the lover of the protagonist, Hamlet and Simba. Another similiarity (or more like an allusion) is that in The Lion King, Nala is thrown into a pool during the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" sequence by Simba, but she emerges quickly as she doesn't want to drown. However, in Hamlet, Ophelia throws herself in the water and drowns.
What does Shakespeare mean by Hugger?
"And we have done but greenly in huggermugger to inter him." (Hamlet 4,5) "Huggermugger" seems to be a word Shakespeare made up; the signet edition of Hamlet glosses it as "secret haste". To do something in 'hugger-mugger' was to do it secretly.

Why does Gertrude fear that Hamlet might kill her?
She has asked him to come to her room so she can bawl him out. Instead he is bawling her out. She is upset and she plans to leave so that she can call the guard. "Then I'll set those to you that can speak". But Hamlet won't let her go: "You shall not budge" he says to her. It is suggested that he physically restrains her. She believes he is crazy, remember? So here she is with a certifiable looney physically pinning her to a chair (or a bed in some productions)--why shouldn't she be alarmed and worry that he might do violence to her?
Why did Emperor Claudius invade Britain?
One reasons that Emperor Claudius invaded Britain was that he wanted to prove himself and secure his thrown. He also wanted to control the trade route.
Many of Hamlet's problems stem from?
If there was a simple answer to this, everyone would have forgotten about the play long ago. Here are some suggestions. 1. Hamlet has a defective character, in that he is indecisive which does not change or alter during the play and which prevents him from carrying out his revenge. Sort of hard to reconcile with his decisiveness during the pirate attack and in the Closet Scene. 2. Hamlet loves his mother too much and is secretly jealous of his stepfather. He would have approached the matter more sensibly had he not had this Oedipal problem. This problem is apparent before he even hears about the ghost, in his "O that this too too solid flesh" speech. 3. Hamlet is a man caught between the medieval duty of revenge and the modern sensibility that such behaviour leads to chaos. Torn between these poles, he sometimes acts like a medieval man and sometimes like a modern man. 4. Hamlet is actually insane and delusional. He has projected his hatred of the king into the mouth of the ghost. The fact that Claudius did actually kill Hamlet's father is a coincidence. 5. Hamlet's problems all come from Claudius. He is the villain of the piece, and caused the problems by killing Hamlet Sr., then by planting spies on Hamlet (including Polonius who is killed because he is a spy), then by sending Hamlet to England, and finally by arranging the fencing match with Laertes. Hamlet is thrown that way and this while trying to dodge these constant attacks.

Was Glaucus a Greek god?
No, he was not. He was the mortal son of Sisyphus and the King of Corinth. He fed his horses human flesh, and this angered the gods. He was thrown from his chariot and his horses ate him.
Why was Saint Valentine put to death?
The Roman Emperor, Claudius II Gothicus, was having problems raising an army as Roman law forbade drafting married men. He decided to outlaw marriage to get around this problem. Valentine continued to marry couples in secret. When Claudius found out, he had Valentine arrested and thrown into prison where he was tortured and beheaded.
Who are Bellerophon's parents?
His parents are Eurynome (mother) and Poseidon (father), but Bellerophon is raised by Eurynome's husband, Glaucus. Glaucus was cursed by Athena to never be able to father a child. Glaucus tended to feed his horses human flesh, which angered the gods. Eventually, he was thrown from his chariot and his horses ate him. His father, Sisyphus, also angered the gods- he betrayed Zeus and was punished by being made to roll a rock uphill for eternity.
Which moments in Hamlet have an impact on you and why?
The moment when Hamlet contemplates life and mortality in his famous "To be or not to be" soliloquy resonates with me due to its profound reflection on the complexities of existence. Additionally, Hamlet's encounter with the ghost of his father is impactful as it sets the tone for the tragic events that unfold and adds a supernatural element to the story. Lastly, Ophelia's descent into madness and death is moving because it highlights the repercussions of betrayal and manipulation in relationships.
What Disney film was inspired by the author Charles Perrault?
Hamlet is a play not a novel. The Lion King has definite similarities. The basic plot is comparable: An uncle (Scar/Claudius) murders his older brother (Mufassa/Hamlet sr.) for the crown, and marries his wife (Sarabi/Gertrude). In the Lion King Simba is unwilling to return for a long time, and in the Play Hamlet's procrastination in killing his uncle to avenge is father is a major critical theme. Then there are some character similarities: A bumbling advisor, Polonius, could be easily linked to Zazu. And Nala is a similar love interest to Simba as Ophelia is to Hamlet although Zazu is not her father However; as it's a Disney it all works out in the end so Nala doesn't go nuts and kill herself whilst getting her jugs out at the lake. Zazu doesn't die, and especially not by Simba (even if Simba did find Zazu somewhat boring also...) and Sarabi doesn't drink a poisoned cup, and Simba isn't stabbed with an envenomed blade and die. Scar does die however... like Claudius and so does Mufassa like Hamlet sr. (even if Hamlet Sr. wasn't thrown off a cliff in the play!) However... Loosely based? Very loosely indeed: the story is more like Macbeth than Hamlet: The king is murdered by his near kinsman who usurps the throne while the king's son flees the country, believing that he will be blamed for the murder. The king's son grows up in exile, where he makes new friends and with his friends returns to find his home country ravaged by the usurper. The usurper is defeated and the king's son becomes king.
