Hamlet Final
Women

Hamlet believes that his mother was whored by his uncle when she married his uncle after swearing that she wouldn’t marry after King Hamlet died. Hamlet also believes that she should stay away from his uncle’s bed to repent of the sins of whoredom. Hamlet thinks that his mother will go to hell if she doesn’t repent.

Hamlet believes that Ophelia should go and become a nun. He thinks that if she does this then he would be allowed to do what he thinks he should do. He believes that if he marries her then she will betray him and become a whore to another man. Hamlet believes that becoming a nun would help her life as well as his.

Hamlet believes that all women should stay single and become nuns because they, in his opinion, would betray the man they were married to. He thinks this because his mother betrayed his father (whom he believes to be perfect in all prospects that his uncle isn’t). If all women were single then men wouldn’t have to bear the pain if the woman they loved betrayed them. It would also allow men to be dominant because they would seem perfect by those around them, men could show no emotion.
