The World Views of Hamlet

Hamlet has alot to deal with when it comes to his family; not only was his father murdered, but the murderer married his mother. On top of that he grew up thinking that he was going to become king someday, but when he finally is suppose to assume that position his uncle takes that from him. He has to deal with everyone, inlcuding his parents thinking that it's alright to get drunk and be drunk whenever they please. He lives in a state of capture because there is all this stuff going on around him and he doesn't agree with it all and it seems as if he has no control. He supposedly had no choice about becoming king, yet he doesn't get to. His mother and uncle seem to think incest is okay and avengeing murder is expected. There is alot to take in and handle.
