Explanation:
King Claudius addresses the court as the new king, informing how he, in the time of deep sorrow over the death of his brother, 'fought discretion with nature' to continue with the affairs of the state since it was monumental loss, yet the state must have a king. Taking the welfare of the 'warlike' state into account, Claudius marries his brother's wife, 'the imperial jointress' and hence he says he has done a right thing. Though he calls it 'a defeated joy' with a dropping eye, he usurps the kingdom very smartly. Claudius is quick in marrying his brother's wife since both 'funeral' and 'marriage' go simultaneously. Claudius's hurry in marriage is a scheme in taking the queen to his side in order to isolate Hamlet, the rightful heir and to prove to the world how much he cares about the kingdom and his dead brother.
