I know she remarried quickly to her brother-in-law - but I am looking for deeper roots of hatred. There is speculation that Hamlet was actually in love with his mother - jealousy, dealing with his own incestuous feelings, perhaps guilt for wanting his own father dead because he was in love with his mother? Also his mother's shallow personality seemed to be a real problem with him. Trying to find deep rooted hate issues.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Because she remarried immediately on the death of Hamlet's father.
