At the moment, Hamlet seems to be feeling a sense of purpose now. He has found out who killed his father and he want revenge. Additionally, his dislike for his uncle has been justified.
I believe Hamlet is feeling passionately angry and betrayed. His uncle, who now holds his title, killed Hamlets father. But since the ghost visited him and told him what he needs to do, Hamlet feels as if he has a reason to stay. He was depressed and felt as if he had no purpose in life, but now his purpose is to help his dead father in revenge. He is also determined and set on what he wants because he already has a plan for how he wants to seek the revenge, with a bit of confusion because he is doing the exact opposite of what the ghost told him to do; to go crazy.
I think Hamlet is feeling multiple emotions. I think he is angry and filled with revenge because of what his father told him. With the anger I think that might difficult his revenge on his uncle. I think he is also possibly confused because a ghost who is his father and tells hims his uncle killed his father. It is not everyday a ghost comes up to you and is like I am your father and I was murdered it is a lot to take in. I think that would throw a lot of people off.
Hamlet is feeling very risky. He wants to get complete revenge because he is very anxious and confused. He really does not know completely what he wants but he wants to get revenge on Claudius because of what he did. Everyone wants him to be calm but the fact that Hamlet knows that Claudius lied makes him very upset and doesn't allow him to settle down. The amount that Hamlet knows just infuriates him even more especially because Claudius is his uncle as well as his mother's husband.
Anger, Hamlet is feeling angry because he nows know how his father died and from who. Hamlet wants to serve justice for his fathers death, when he was talking to his father (ghost). But his father doesn't want his mother involved with his uncles death. Also his father wants Hamlet's uncle dead but Hamlets father wants him to do silently. Hamlet is feeling all this anger within him because he finally knows the truth about his fathers death.
I feel that Hamlet is feeling very angry and betrayed and therefore wants to seek revenge on his uncle. Hearing his father's ghost tell him that his uncle killed him only verifies the hatred Hamlet has for Claudius. In his mind, the only way to make it right is to kill Claudius just like Claudius did to his father. His emotions are very strong at this point in the play. After all, he just found out that his own uncle killed his father. His thoughts revolve solely around seeking revenge for all the depression he has felt.
I believe that Hamlet is feeling overwhelmed after meeting his father's spirit. He is already depressed due to his fathers passing and seeing that his mother doesn't seem to care, and now he finds out that his uncle murdered his father. Knowing that he is the one to take revenge on Claudius without actually going crazy puts a lot of pressure on someone who is already depressed and suicidal. Although I think hearing the truth from the ghost makes him feel a little better about it all because he knows what happened to his father and it gives him some understanding of why the Queen and Claudius seem to be unsympathetic about the death of Hamlet's father.
I believe Hamlet would be very overwhelmed with emotion, from anger to sadness. I think he would have even more anger towards his Uncle, now that he knows he killed his father. He also seems very determined to get revenge on his Uncle, since that is what his father told him to do.
At this point in the play, Hamlet is experiencing an array of consistent yet contradictory emotions. The depression his father's death had left with him left him feeling apathetic in regards to his life and any happenings. Yet rather than feeling nothing at all - as is normally characteristic of depression - he feels anger, hatred, and bitterness towards his uncle and his mother. The death of his father has left him devastated, yet the revelation that his father was murdered [by his uncle] provides him with a newfound sense of purpose. The anger and hatred he harbors towards his uncle is much stronger now, and has begun to outweigh the sadness that his father's death has left him with.
Hamlet, by the end of act 1, hosts an array of emotions inside himself. Sadness, anger, confusion, betrayal -- these are just a sampling of things Hamlet is feeling. Anger at his Uncle for taking his spot on the throne and for murdering his father. Anger at his father for leaving him. Sadness at his father's death. Confusion at the events that led up to his father's death. Betrayal at his uncle's act of murder. His depression and angst are building up in him and, they will continue to build up.
At this point in the play I feel sympathy for Hamlet. He has lost his father to his uncle who then married his mother so Hamlet seems to have nobody when it comes to family. He has Ophelia and friends but they cannot keep him from depression. Claudius deserves to die at Hamlet's hand for his betrayal.
I think that Hamlet is feeling conflicted. It would be really difficult to hear your father was murdered by your uncle. It would also be hard to listen to your father telling you to kill someone to get revenge. Killing someone is definitely against any normal person's moral code, & so is disobeying your father. He must be feeling deeply saddened, as he was before with the news of his father's death. He has probably developed a new drive, and this is the desire to get revenge on Claudius for his father.
Hamlet is feeling incredibly angry at the end of this scene. He just learned that Claudius killed his father to become king. He is also probably surprised or in shock after seeing his dead father as a ghost. He knows he has to get revenge on Claudius so he is probably worried about that too.
Hamlet is satisfied that the ghost confirmed his ideas that Claudius is an undeserving king, yet overwhelmed with the idea of taking revenge against Claudius. Hamlet now has a solid reason for his hatred of Claudius, but realizes how difficult it will be to keep his intentions a secret from others. I think Hamlet is also confused because of his suicidal feelings. If he wishes to revenge Claudius, he cannot take his life, although he may have no interest in living in this world anymore.
I believe that Hamlet is feeling very conflicted because he is being faced with so many different emotions ranging from depression to angst and anger to possibly satisfaction in knowing what happened to his father. He seems to be feeling happy because he is finding the peace of finding out what happened to his father but is also very angry at finding out that the same man that killed his father is literally taking King Hamlet's place in every single way. When he is given the job of seeking revenge he is even more conflicted because he does want to avenge his father's death but he does not want to face the consequences of murdering his uncle.
Hamlet is obviously upset as a result of this encounter with his father. Claudius had been the one who had encouraged Hamlet to get over the death of his father, and now he has learned that Claudius is the very person responsible for his death. Claudius had lied to him, and now in return, Hamlet will lie to Claudius as well by putting on an antic disposition as an excuse to kill him. King Hamlet is encouraging Hamlet to get revenge, and Hamlet seems more than happy to carry out his father's will.
After being confronted by his father, Hamlet is feeling a sense of meaning for his life. In contrast to earlier when he was feeling depressed and had no reason to live.
Among the multitude of emotions Hamlet had already been feeling, motivation has been added. His suspicions of his uncle have been confirmed, and he now has a plan to kill Claudius.
I think Hamlet must be feeling both shocked and angry at this point. He probably never dreamed that his father was murdered and he already disliked Claudius for marrying his mother. To hear that his father's brother murdered the king must have been devastating and fueled his desire for revenge. Hamlet is probably so blinded by his need to fulfill his father's wish that he is willing to pretend he is insane to avoid any repercussions that his revenge may bring.
At this point in the play Hamlet is feeling not only angry and upset because of the death of his father, he is even more so now that he knows that his uncle was the one who killed his father. He is searching for answers and his conversation with the ghost of his father has answered some of his questions but left him with others. He knows that he is to kill his uncle but he is unsure how to. His father tells him of his sins during his life and how Hamlet needs to fix them before he can go to rest, so not only is he sad but also now confused. Liana
Hamlet is feeling very angry at his uncle for killing his father. He is also mad at his mom for helping his uncle kill his father. He wants to get revenge on his uncle for his father. he may not be so happy that his father wants him to leave his mother alone since she helped kill him.
He is feeling betrayed and enraged that his uncle would kill his father and marry his mother. He also want revenge even at the cost of his own happiness. He also feels his uncle is an unfit king now more than ever. Nathan White
Hamlet is feeling rage, anger, and revenge as well as being depressed of his father's death. He is angry for his uncle marrying his mom and for also killing his father when he receives the news. He also feels like he has a big responsibility for full filling his commands on killing his uncle.
The news Hamlet heard of how his father actually died came shocking to him. He was very sad and enraged from hearing the truth. He then gives himself a purpose to live which is to avenge his father.
