Hamlet"s Sorrow

In acts one and two of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet the main character, Hamlet feels great sorrow because of the recent loss of his beloved father. Hamlet doesnt seem to overcome the feeling of sadness he possesses because of his fathers death and it seems most people he knows have. His mother the queen in one scene becomes frustrated with Hamlet because he is wearing clothing of a certain color. "Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off,/ and let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark." It seems it is very difficult for Hamlet to get over is father's death but that is not the same for others. Hamlet's mother marries the king who is Hamlet's uncle after the death of his father which seems kind of un loyal. It is a son's duty to mourn after the death of a loved one especially a father but to mourn for to long is the inappropriate thing to do. Hamlet's uncle and mother decide to have Hamlet stay close to them and not return to the school in Wittenberg where he was perviously enrolled before his father's death. When Hamlet is alone he exclaims that he does not want to live anymore and he wishes suicide wasn't a sin. He also scorns his mother for marrying his uncle. "O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason,/ would have mourned longer, married with mine uncle,/ My father brother; but no more like my father/ than i to Hercules: within a month;"
