In Hamlet, do you think Hamlet is justified in feeling angry and humiliated at his mother's quick marriage to his uncle Claudius?

This is of course a very important question when we
consider the play as a whole. However, this is also a very subjective question, and I
think it may be good to repeat it in the discussion posting section of this group so
that you can gain a wider input in your own thinking as you try to decide what your
answer to this question is.

Personally, I think throughout
the play it is referenced how swift and rash Gertrude's decision to re-marry so quickly
was. It has clearly upset Hamlet, but we can infer that others are questioning this move
as well. Thus in Act II scene 1 the speech of Claudius is an excellent example of how he
confirms his rule and power and attempts to gloss over their rather hasty union.
However, Hamlet's first soliloquy in this scene clearly reveals his
feelings:

That it should come to
this:

But two months dead: nay, not so much; not
two,

So excellent a King, that was to
this

Hyperion to a satyr: so loving to my
mother,

That he might not beteem the winds of
heaven

Visit her face to
roughly.

As Hamlet concludes,
"Frailty, thy name is woman." Nobody can blame Gertrude from wanting to remarry, but the
massive change in her affections and emotional state leaves her open to criticism. This
is something that Gertrude herself recognises when Hamlet confronts her in her
bedchamber after the play and the swift exit of
Claudius:

O
Hamlet, speak no more.

Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very
soul,

And there I see such black and grained
spot,

As will not leave their
tinct.

This quote shows how,
when confronted with the truth of what she has done by her son, Gertrude herself
recognises that she has acted hastily and wrongly. Therefore I think Hamlet is perfectly
justified in how he is feeling.
