Claudius is critical of Hamlet in the excerpt below. What are his criticisms of Hamlet and the reasoning behind those criticisms
?
King: ’Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet, To give these mourning duties to your father: But, you must know, your father lost a father; That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound In filial obligation for some term To do obsequious° sorrow: but to persever In obstinate condolement° is a course Of impious stubbornness; ’tis unmanly grief; It shows a will most incorrect° to heaven, A heart unfortified, a mind impatient, An understanding simple and unschool’d: For what we know must be and is as common As any the most vulgar thing° to sense, Why should we in our peevish opposition Take it to heart? Fie! ’tis a fault to heaven, A fault against the dead, a fault to nature, To reason most absurd; whose common theme Is death of fathers, and who still hath cried, From the first corse° till he that died to-day, "This must be so." We pray you, throw to earth This unprevailing° woe, and think of us As of a father.
