It never clearly says in the play whether Gertrude knew about how Claudius murdered King Hamlet or not. I believe you could see this from either side. This quote from the play is where I could see two sides:
Hamlet: "A blood deed? Almost as bad, good mother, As kill a king and marry with his brother."
Gertrude: "As kill a king?"
You could see Gertrude's reaction to what Hamlet says as Gertrude being legitimately surprised and very startled by it. But you could also see this as her acting to cover up what she already knew. I am not sure about what the "truth" is here. What do y'all think?
