I can imagine that Hamlet is feeling very overwhelmed at this point. He's likely feeling very angry, now knowing that his father was murdered, and by his uncle no less. He's also probably feeling very hurt, being betrayed by someone of his own blood and knowing that his father could have still been with him had it not been for Claudius. I can imagine that it would hurt much more to know that your fathers death was not an accident, but a murder. Hamlet's thoughts are probably consumed with obeying his fathers command and coming up with a plan to kill Claudius. I can come to that assumption because it said in the book that he (Hamlet) will wipe all other thoughts from his mind and think of nothing else but his fathers command. It seems that Hamlet is abandoning all his prior morals and values because his heart and mind is consumed with avenging his fathers murder.
Hamlet is thinking many things at this point in the book. He now knows to kill the new king for his father He is angry at his step father. But is also a little confused since he thinks he is gonna act crazy in order to be able to kill the king without fault. Yet his father's ghost told him to not go crazy with this task. He is also sad that his father is dead all because his uncle wanted to be king .
I think that at this point in the play Hamlet is thinking about the revenge that he is going to get on his uncle. He is also probably angry/irritated at his uncle because he is blatantly lying to the entire country of Denmark about how his own brother died. He is probably happy to have been able to see his dad again after him dying so soon and not really being able to say goodbye properly but also at the same time scared because he just saw a ghost.
At this point in the play, I think Hamlet is experiencing a variety of emotions. I think that overall, he is angry. He wants revenge and he's trying to figure out how to get it. I think he's also very overwhelmed and disappointed in his uncle because he is still mourning the death of his father and then he finds this information out and now he wants closure. To him, the only way to get closure is to seek revenge and kill his uncle. He's also very scared. Seeing his father's ghost is frightening enough as it is without the added fear of being asked to kill someone.
I believe that Hamlet is feeling quite shocked and also very glad to see and hear his late father. he is so excited even to see his father he will threaten his own friends who are trying to protect him. When he finally sees him, he is very much afraid. Then it seems to turn into wonder and inquisitiveness. He hears about his fathers murder and he becomes very upset, overwhelmed with all of this knowledge. The feeling of sadness he seems to of just liked seeing his father the most, but knowing about the murder takes his heart and grips it, only wanting to focus on this till the deed is done. He wants more than anything in the world than to avenge his father. He already hates his uncle and now he has a good reason to kill him. Justifying his prier feelings.
I believe that Hamlet is angered and distraught. When he finds out that Claudius killed his father, Hamlet becomes angry. He did not already like Claudius and when he finds out that he had killed his father, it makes him want to have revenge for his father. It also angers him because he knows that his father is not in heaven but in a state of purgatory so he cannot rest in peace. He is driven with anger and sadness by the fact that his father has been killed and was asked to kill Claudius by his father. He is also angry with his mother since she is now married with Claudius and she cannot see what is right in front of her, a murderer.
I'm sure Hamlet felt a little bit of closure because he was able to speak to his deceased father again. However, I'm sure he also feels a little bit of rage knowing his father was murdered by his new step dad. He has a little bit of every emotion because I feel he will continue to mourn over his dad but he is ready to seek revenge and is already putting a plan in place to avenge his father. Hamlet is also making sure this information is to remain a secret including that there is even a ghost by making Horatio and Marcellus promise to not tell anybody.
Hamlet is upset and filled with anger, after he finds out that Claudius killed his father. He wants to get revenge on Claudius. Hamlet was upset with his mom but after talking to the ghost he isn't anymore. Hamlet is very sad after talking to his dad as a ghost. He wants to get revenge on Claudius now.
I believe Hamlet is confused and overwhelmed. After being told all the information from the ghost about his father's murder, he doesn't know how to handle it all. Even being told by the ghost to not go crazy, he fails do to so. Also, Hamlet is so heartbroken about his own uncle killing his father that he can not fully process what is happening and can not control his actions. The more he goes on about what the ghost has said, the more anger he seems to show. A lot of emotions are going through his body that he just does not know how to deal with.
He feels mournful over his father,and reminiscent over their memories. He wants to do his father proud, possibly for closure for himself. Hamlet is very anxious with his knowledge of his father's death. He doesn't know how to process the fact that his uncle killed his father, so he's trying to compensate by formulating a plan for revenge like his father asked. He wants the catharsis of revenge against Claudius for killing his father and marrying his mother.
I think that Hamlet is feeling a mix of multiple emotions. After talking to his father Hamlet was very angry and in shock at the same time. He didn't know what to think of the situation, the fact that his uncle actually murdered his father. He was angered by the thought that while he learned this information his uncle was down in the castle partying like nothing even happened. But, he is also very upset about the situation as well. He misses his father very much and knows now that he could have had more time with him but it was taken away by his uncle. He is determined to seek revenge for his fathers death so that is father can then be in peace.
Hamlet is feeling angry and disgusted with Claudius' behavior after Hamlet's father's death, particularly his endless and excessive partying. He removes himself from these thoughts as he becomes anxious to meet the ghost of his father. He refuses to listen to the others with him who tell him not to follow the ghost because he wants to know what he has to say. He misses his father, and he will not lose the chance to see him once more. After hearing the horrifying story of his father's death and receiving his order to seek revenge, Hamlet feels obligated to do as his father asks, and he thinks that the best way to do this is to clear his mind of all other thoughts. In his grieving, he has made the rash decision to carry out the murder.
Hamlet feels that death by the ghost is worth it due to his already depression and hatred for life. He wants to find the ghost of his father as he yells and screams through the forest looking for him. He feels so alone and angry towards his uncle for he now knows that his uncle was indeed the one who killed his beloved father. Hamlet immediately thinks of a plan to act crazy to seek the revenge on his uncle. He wants to inflict the pain on his uncle that has been inflicted on himself and his father from his death. He mourns for his father and misses his presence and grows in frustration which fuels his need to seek the worst of revenge on his uncle for the murder of his father.
At this point I feel like Hamlet feels conflicted and confused about what he just encountered with his father's spirit. Also I think Hamlet is also mad that his uncle is the one who killed his father. There is just so much information to take in Hamlet probably doesn't know how to take it all in. He probably is also happy he got to see his father and find out what had actually happened to him. Now Hamlet knows that it wasn't a snake who killed his father but his uncle. Hamlet is probably also thinking about revenge and how to get it.
I think that Hamlet is feeling shocked and betrayed. After talking to his father's ghost, he is forced to face the fact that his father was murdered. He becomes very emotional because he respected his father. Because of these feelings, he knows that he must seek revenge against his uncle/stepfather. It seems as though he is very loyal to his family, specifically his father, and wants to find justice for him. He feels obligated to seek revenge against Claudius because he murdered his father. He knows that he must avenge his father's death.
Hamlet is shocked at what he has heard from the ghost of his father. He has no idea what to do in order to take his revenge on his uncle without going insane which is specifically what his father told him not to do. He is saddened by the revelation and grows even more angry with his uncle for what he has done in order to take the throne in order to live the life his brother had.
I believe Hamlet is feeling a sense of anger towards Claudius. It angers him how a man can still smile and enjoy life after killing his father. Also, it probably puts him into distress that the man who killed his father is wearing his fathers crown. He is probably thinking of different ways he can attempt to avenge his fathers death without getting caught by anyone.
Hamlet is feeling a lot of anger and betrayal right now. Both of these feelings are towards his uncle. Hamlet was told by his father (the ghost) that he was killed by Hamlets uncle (the new king) and now hamlet is feeling very betrayed by his own family and angry that his uncle got away with it. He is going to use these feelings of anger and betrayal to get revenge. He is also sad because he just lost his father and now his mother is married to the man who killed his father/her husband.
I think that Hamlet is obviously very sad and depressed about his father's death. It defiantly made it much worse to know now that he was murdered, because not only is he sad now, but he is also very angry. He is very angry that his father was murdered and angry that he must commit a sin. He is a religious man, so that fact that he needs to seek out revenge must be very troubling for him as well making this decision very hard for him. So I think that Hamlet is feeling many things right now and may be overwhelmed by how he is feeling, probably going to lead to madness.
At this point, Hamlet is really sad and broken. When he hears all of these things, he gets really overwhelmed and is out of his mind. He starts yelling in anger about the fact that people can seem like such a smiling person but still be so evil. He feels betrayed by everyone and is really disturbed by the kind of person his uncle really is. He wants to get back at his uncle for what he has done, and he starts by going crazy, which his father told him not to do.
Hamlet is very depressed about what had just happen. He just talked to his dad's ghost, and learned some very surprising news. He learned that his dad was actually killed by his uncle, by pouring poison in his ear. He seem kind of scared as well. Not because of the ghost but because of what he was hearing. He feels angered as well because of the murder of his dad. He's really mad at his mother and his uncle Claudius. Also he sad because his father did not go to heaven.
Hamlet is feeling very upset that his uncle killed his father and is partying and not having any guilty thoughts. He also distraught because his father is in purgatory and not in heaven. He is angry at his mother for marrying the man that killed his father. Hamlet is having crazy thoughts because he is going to have to commit a sin to make his father's death equal.
Hamlet is already angry with his uncle in how he took the throne after his father's death and married his mother. It has just been confirmed that the ghost, that Horatio and Marcellus had seen, is in fact his father. After waiting for the ghost and following it Hamlet is told that it wasn't a snake that poisoned the king, but that Claudius had poisoned him. After finding out this information Hamlet is, firstly, annoyed with his mother in that she knew about the murder, but also disgusted with his uncle for, not only taking the throne, but also for killing his father. The ghost of King Hamlet is in purgatory and therefore is seeking revenge. Hamlet is now enraged and prepared to do what it takes to get revenge for his father's murder.
Hamlet is thinking they are being taken as fools. Hamlet seeks revenge for his father's death. He sees his uncle as a pathetic trader. By his uncle and mother, he feels betrayed. He feels saddened, as well as angered that his uncle could smile and be the villain. Hamlet feels overwhelmed and confused.
Hamlet is feeling many things at this point in this play. He probably feels betrayed by his uncle and his mother. He kinda is in shock that someone he knows so well to do something like this. He probably is confused and has questions for his uncle and his mother he is probably wondering if his mother knew about what his uncle did. Hamlet is angry at his uncle and out for revenge
It seems that Hamlet is a bit addled. Of course, seeing a ghost corrupted and permeated entirely with bitterness, and having it reveal that a close relative is responsible for his father's death, can have a tendency to do that. His disposition over the previous month and a half yields fecund soil for the single-minded determination wrought by a plausible, and seemingly righteous, goal. His vision is that of his uncle dead. But the ghost may have underestimated the instability of Hamlet, for his passion shall overtake the simple goal of remaining sane while getting the goal done quickly. His father does not seem to realize the contempt that has been festering towards Claudius, and this will likely complicate the whole matter. He is called by his father's ghost to destroy Claudius, not to allow his emotions to overflow and result in collateral damage. Of interesting note is that the "Christian beliefs" held by Elizabethan Denmark would have taught "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay" (see Deuteronomy 32:35, Romans 12:19). If Hamlet attempts to take things into his own hands, the result will be at best imperfect, and at worst catastrophic.
