In this scene it is shown that Hamlet is extremely upset with his mother’s decision to marry her brother-in-law (her dead husbands brother ). Hamlet is told by Claudius (the brother) to stop mourning the death of his father as it is something that would have happened anyway. While Hamlet is by himself, he talks about how his mother married pretty much instantly after his father died. At one point he even uses the word incest because she is marrying her brother-in-law. Claudius is nothing of a man compared to Hamlets father which is another reason why Hamlet is upset. Finally, Bernardo, Marcellus and Horatio appear and tell Hamlet about the ghost they have seen. They explain to Hamlet that the ghost looks like his dead father. Hamlet tells them that he will come with them at night in hopes to see this ghost, but tells them not to tell anyone else.
