Hamlet
I feel sorry for Hamlet because he is not allowed to grieve for his dead father. Most of all he has to sit back and watch his mother and his uncle/step-father in their mockery of a marrage just two months after his father passed. Most of all they have the audacity to make remarks about the fact that he is still mourning his death, and to basically tell him to get over it. To grieve the loss of someone you love is the hardest and most painfull emotions to ever have to go through. It isn't something that you can switch on and off. And how obvious is it to Hamlet that his father's death was not a coincidence.

I don't like that fact that Gertrude and Claudius are basically bullying Hamlet. They are abusing their power as king and queen and also as being older than Hamlet. Instead of also mourning with Hamlet, they're not being realistic with his grieving process.
