Week 11: Review Q. 9: Speeking to Gertrude

Hamlet starts off speaking to his mother angrily and accusingly.  I think he might have spoke to her like that at first because he thought that she took part in murdering his father.  Once he realizes his mother doesn't know that his father was assassinated he begins speaking to her more kindly.  Hamlet's words seem to send his mother into shock, probably because she had not suspected that her former husband had been murder, especially not by his brother, her current husband.
