Hamlet

             affection from his mother, Queen Gertrude (Lidz, 48). This is the principal.
             reason of why even though Hamlet should have grown out of the Oedipal, it gets.
             reawakened (Lidz, 48). But, to Hamlet's great disappointment his mother has.
             remarried and he will not be the number one person to receive his mother's.
             affection and his superego is greatly damaged (Leavenworth, 95). He feels like.
             his mother has betrayed him in, by marrying, and to boot that she married with.
             great haste. It is this anger that gets pent-up inside of Hamlet and he.
             releases it by way of lashing out at Ophelia and his mother. However, while.
             this anger is still brewing inside him he is truly mad until it is released by.

             him and the only thing that can make him feel truly safe and out of harm's way.
             is his mother. That yearning and extreme need for the comfort of his mother is.
             a pivotal point of why Hamlet feels betrayed by his mother, when she can not.
             afford him the love he expects.
             Besides Hamlet's desire to find comfort in his mother, it is evident.
             that he is sexually attracted to his mother in a sexual fashion. Because of.
             some of Hamlet's actions in the "closet scene" it is first apparent that he is.
             making some sort of sexual advance towards his mother the Queen. This is where.
             Hamlet's Oedipus complex really bears itself completely, we know exactly what.
             Hamlet wants, but like in the rest of the play his words seem haphazard and.
             spurned on by disillusionment (Lidz, 130). He is here making an attempt to not.
