I must admit that the Oedipus complex disturbs me, so I have tried to convince myself that Hamlet does not think that way. I think you can argue that Hamlet is not jealous, but just disturbed by Claudius and Gertrude's relationship and by being so specific and using such sexual phrases, he is trying to make her feel uncomfortable and expose her guilt. By admitting their relationship out front, it makes the situation transparent for both Gertrude and Hamlet to argue over and analyze. Once their relationship is out in the open, Hamlet has a pretty good argument on why he should be so mad at his mother. Claudius and Gertrude's relationship is a major betrayal to King Hamlet, and probably only adds to Hamlet's anger towards his mother which is why he wants to confront it. He could merely be searching for some reason Gertrude has to justify their relationship, and Hamlet may think he may receive that reason by being so forward and blunt.

I would say, I too believe that Hamlet is upset of the resent events, but there are definitely some really sexual phrases he says to his mom. . The Oedipus complex is when boys want to sleep with their mothers and murder their fathers, Hamlet could just be jelous that Claudius beat him to the punch. The whole situation reminds me of when teenage boys find their friends mom attractive, I always found that uncomfortating.master123https://www.blogger.com/profile/12964055632458437562noreply@blogger.com
