 Studying Hamlet, let's look at key quotes relating to Claudius' character. In Act 1 Scene 2, we discover that after the death of his brother, he's been quickly crowned King of Denmark. He begins his coronation by saying, the yet of Hamlet are dears brother's death. Now here he speaks an Imbit pentameter, basically showing that he's somewhat mourning his brother's death. He also says, of his death, the memory breed green. Now the caesura hair shows that it isn't that long ago that his brother died. He also says that we with wise of sorrow, think on him. Now the literation of W hair basically is him saying that we're still thinking of King Hamlet's death. Yet he follows this on by saying remembrance of ourselves. Now the pronoun here ourselves is basically saying, whilst we're thinking of King Hamlet's death, we should also think about ourselves, which seems a little bit disingenuous and false. This fakeness is also shown because he talks about our sometimes sister, now our queen, referring to Queen Gertrude and the sibilance of some time sister shows that he has basically married his brother's wife. He then juxtaposes the words funeral and marriage. The composition of these words show he's really quick to marry Queen Gertrude. We question his motives.
