Vision, Perception, and Belief in Act I, scenes i and ii of Hamlet

In the first Act, Shakespeare reveals some background information, which includes different character’s feelings and their relationship between each other. Hamlet’s father (King Hamlet) recently passed away and he represents his depression through black mourning attire. Apparently it is strange for Hamlet to still be mourning; as his uncle, now known as King Claudius, asks him why “the clouds still hang upon him.” I personally feel it is normal behavior for Hamlet to act this way because a lot is changing in his life; his father is deceased, his mother is now married to his uncle, and he will not be attending the Wittenberg school anymore.
Hamlet’s excessive mourning can also represent a strong, close relationship with his father. But it seems as if Claudius finds Hamlet’s behavior bizarre and “unmanly” of him. This is a little ridiculous seeing that it was Hamlet’s father and Claudius’s brother who died. The whole conversation between Claudius and Hamlet is kind of awkward and it represents hostility between the two, well at least for Hamlet towards his uncle.
I also find it ridiculous that Queen Gertrude only abides by Claudius’s feelings and she fails to give any sympathy for her son or even for herself. Gertrude’s husband, the man she was in love with, did pass away and she is not really showing any signs of sorrow. Gertrude is failing at her duties of being a mother because she is not giving her son any affection and she seems to be acting like nothing is wrong.
It also boggles my mind as to why King Claudius and Queen Gertrude do not want Hamlet to attend the school he had been going to before his father died. If anything this would help Hamlet get his mind off of things instead of sitting at home and mourning with his pitiless mother and uncle.
Hamlet expresses his feelings in is monologue towards the end of scene ii. Hamlet describes his desire to die and grieves over his father’s death. He also describes his hatred towards his mother and uncle’s quick marriage right after King Hamlet’s death. I feel deep sympathy for Hamlet and couldn’t agree with him anymore then I do.
