The role of Queen Gertrude is to establish the incestuous nature of her self and King number two as well as a previous relationship with Hamlet. She is used as a conduit to explain Ophelia's actions and changes, she symbolizes the weakness of women, and she is the reason for the families death. She is actually the reason most of the characters die. To analysis this character better, try researching "Ball Analysis." By working the play backwards you will see how she drives the plot.

there are two queens in hamlet, Gertrude, hamlet's mother and the player queen. first is a big role, second is a small one.

She rules Denmark.
