The king is saying that we are grieving hamlet, but must move on.
Hamlets mother has married his dad's brother (Claudius).
Claudius distracts the public from the inter problems to outside threats.
Hamlet-"A little more than kin, and less than kind."-his first line (situational irony) it means that Hanlet does not like Claudius.
Hamlet is not going to acknowledge that he is unhappy.
*visage-a visual expression*
Hamlet says that you can cry, you can wear black, but that doesn't mean you are grieving. Hamlet hints that he doesn't have to show grief to feel it. He's implication that others are being showy, but not true feelings of integrity.
Claudius says that he knows Hamlet is next in line, but that he is young and unmanly.
**Hamlets true feelings**
-he wishes he didn't have to be there to see that crap
-he's mad
-he calls his mom a slut, a betrayer, and a quick marriage, she grieves much too quickly.
-judges his step father
Hamlet went from playing his parents to indulging in his emotion. He then was asking questions as if he was a detective; he resumed to bury his emotion in public.
