This scene has Hamlet, Claudius and Gertrude, where Claudius makes a speech about how he mourns his brothers death but is happy about his recent marriage to his brothers wife. Hamlet is disgusted by this as it was only a month since his father had died and now his uncle has already married his mother. Claudius thinks Hamlet should grow up and get over his fathers death and be happy about their marriage “Of impious stubbornness, ’tis unmanly grief”. Hamlet wants to go back to Wittenberg to study but Claudius and Gertrude don’t allow him.
