What Does Hamlet Plan to Do When He Talks with His Mother
Gertrude
Ghost of Hamlet’s Father
Hamlet/Parents
About thirty years old at the start of the play, Hamlet is the son of Queen Gertrude and the late King Hamlet, and the nephew of the present king, Claudius. Hamlet is melancholy, bitter, and cynical, full of hatred for his uncle’s scheming and disgust for his mother’s sexuality.
