What the fuck was this guy's problem? Why did he care about his dad so much? What's your favorite interpretation of Hamlet?

Your dad just died and then your uncle goes and marries your mum next morning and everyone is ok with that. Plus, you're a hipster. You read books while walking around, dress in black, and make elaborate plans where making rage induced tantrum with sword in hand is preferable solution.

I probably wouldn't care if my dad died, and my uncle is a pretty cool guy.

I bet you also take therapies and like watching cuckold porn, but that is besides the point. What is more important to this situation, is that you also fail to comprehend what you are reading. Otherwise you wouldn't come up with such a retarded question.

He was the heir to the throne. His uncle passed him over by marrying his mother.

Wouldn't that piss you off if you wanted to be king?

>>8230197
He was a fucking Libra.

Did Hamlet really want to be king though?

I don't think of this as an interpretation since it is the explicitly stated happenings of the play.

The ghost tells Hamlet what happened to his father. Since the ghost exceeds the possibility of human understanding he cannot be sure it is telling the truth so he endeavors to learn the truth himself which he never does. His reaction at the play is no real proof, especially considering it is easy to imagine Claudius (due to the very strange acting of Hamlet) wishes to kill him and take the crown (a very reasonable interpretation of the play within the play), which can explain his (Claudius') actions at the play. So the play does nor provide truth. Claudius' confession is spoken unheard by Hamlet. So Hamlet never learns the truth.

His general seeming crazyness is merely the deep state of epistemological doubt he is thrown into because of the ghost.

The change in him begins when the actors arrive where he marvels at the actors abilities to feel so deeply about something that is merely pretend. This change culminates with his conversion to a Nietzschean egoism when he sees all the soldiers going off to die for nothing. He is transfixed by their eagerness to die for a lie. With this new way of thinking of acting he decides to kill Claudius.

Yeah it is. Your interpretation beyond that is totally shit, bad post ... how ... how ... HOW do you misread a play that badly? Jeez, /lit/, step it up.
