Hamlet aroused pity and fear throughout the play also known as pathos. Within two months after King Hamlet's death, Hamlet's mother, Gertude, marries Cladius. Hamlet feels betrayed after her remarriage. "Within" a month, ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her galled eyes, she married." (Act 1, scene ii, ll. 153-156). From that point of the play Hamlet had different feeling towards his mother and women overall. Hamlet had strong feelings towards the remarriage because he feels her mother had betrayed his father. Gertude had not even taken much time to mourn her deceased husband's death. She thought it would lift the spirits of Denmark, but ended up isolating Hamlet from all the people around him. Hamlet felt he had no reason for being due to his father's death. He contemplated and considered suicide, but feared his soul would be condemned to hell if he had gone through with this action. "O that this too sullied flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew, or that the Everlasting had not fixed His canon against self-slaughter." (Act 1, scene ii, ll. 129-132). Hamlet did not want to live with this pain but had fear, and doubt in his mind that made him not go through with it. Hamlet also had fear in the ghost, although the ghost takes the shape and form of his father, Hamlet is never fully sure whether the ghost was honest or not. "Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damned, bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, be thy intents wicked or charitable, thou com" st in such a questionable shape that I will speak to thee." (Act 1, scene iv. ll. 40-44). Hamlet questioned the intentions of the ghost. He was worried that the ghost was the devil in disguise, deceiving him into committing murder.
Hamlet was arrogant and had exaggerated pride or in other words, undergone hubris. When Gertude married Claudius, Hamlet refused to let go of his father's death and doesn't take part in their celebration.
