Hamlet's Soliloquy

Hamlet' soliloquy focuses a lot on how he is upset with his mother for remarrying so quickly. He starts off by saying how life is worthless to him now. He compares life to an unweeded garden that is gross and overgrown. He can't believe that things have come to this. He then goes on to say how it has been only two months since his father's death and his mother has already remarried to his uncle. Hamlet can not believe this because of how well his father treated his mother. Hamlet says that his father would have gotten between the wind and her to save it from hitting her face to roughly. He doesn't understand why women are so weak. He then goes on to say that animals would have mourned longer than his mother did for a dying mate. Hamlet says that his uncle is as similar to his father as he is to Hercules. His last words are that nothing good can come from the choice his mother has made.
