... his mother recovered from her widowhood. “Within a month, ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes, she married. O, most wicked speed, to post with such dexterity to incestuous sheets!” (Act1.scene2.158-162). The absence of a mourning period for the Queen suggests that she needed a husband so badly that she brazenly betrayed Hamlet and her late husband, and involved herself in an immoral marriage simply for the sake of pacifying her own loneliness.

... his father's murder. Hamlet even goes
so far as to say his apparent madness is an act when he says "I am but mad
north-north-west; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw"(667).

knowing when fortune or something else would happen on them.
Lear, the king of England would be the tragic hero because he held the
