- 1Lines 19-20 (Claudius manipulating Gertrude)Claudius - "This mad young man. But so much was our love"
*He is pretending to care about Hamlet's well-being showing that he is manipulating Gertrude.
*This shows the audience that she is more likely to not actually have anything to do with the late Kings death - innocent.
*The fact that he describes their love in past tense shows that Claudius sees him more as a threat than as his kin - not a loving emotion as helped by the quotation 'foul disease' in the next line - Hamlet is described more as a nuisance. - 2Line 27 (Gertrude's love for Hamlet)Gertrude - "A weeps for what is done"
*This demonstrates that she does not fully trust Claudius and has some incentive into how dangerous he is and what he is capable of doing,
*Also conveys the love she has for her son, as she is to her husband in order to protect Hamlet.
*She may be a bad person, but she does love her son.
