How my parent's want me to think
Hamlet's parents have influenced his thoughts drastically. First, Hamlet thinks his whole kingdom is a bunch of drunks because Claudius and his mother are always drinking. In scene 1.4, Hamlet says, "They clepe us drunks," and he obviously associates being king with being krunk. Anyway, his father probably had him under the illusion that he would succeed his father as king. His parents probably informed him that he could not choose his wife, but rather the people would. I get this from inference because he says "I loved you, I never loved you" to Ophelia. I get the impression that Hamlet's saying yeah your good looking and I had a thing for you, but in reality, it could never be and to me it never really happened either. Furthermore, Hamlet has also been influenced by his father's view that revenge is a necessity in life. The ghost of Hamlet reminds hamlet, "do not forget" revenge... the i for an i view of life.
