... His treatment of women, Ophelia and his mother Gertrude in this case, will be the subject that I discuss in this paper. ... I believe this is Hamlet’s continuous underlying attitude towards women as a whole, given that his mother had not properly honored Old Hamlet’s death by mourning, but instead married not only relatively quickly, but to her former brother-in-law. ... Hamlet’s treatment of women is a trait that is brought on due to the trauma of his father’s death, and the rapid remarriage of his mother Gertrude, It’s witnessed many times throughout the play that Hamlet oscillates between adoration and love for both women, and that his convictions concerning Ophelia and Gertrude remain steadfast in the way that he perceives them the way that he thinks they should act and/or be.
Modern society suggests women look at a mans relationship with his mother
to predict how they will treat other women in their life. Hamlet is a good
example of a sons treatment of his mother reflecting how he will treat the
woman he loves because when considering Hamlets attitude and treatment of the
Ophelia in this play Hamlet, one must first consider how Hamlet treated his mother.
