Hamlet Love Triangle

Is Hamlet just a twisted love triangle in some soap opera? In the course of the play Gertrude profusely creates sexual tension, which drives the men in her life to do monstrous things. Though she is only a sex object in the play she is of all their desires consciously or unconsciously. Her character has least amount of dialogue among the major characters she proves to be one of the most important.

Some of the evidence first comes around with the introduction to Hamlet's Father's ghost. The Ghost describes vaguely the details of his murder and then goes into a vivid assault on Gertrude's sexual relationship with Claudius, which he then pushes Hamlet to enact revenge on Claudius for taking his sex object, who causes him much rage and emotional anguish. "Let not the royal bed of Denmark be a couch of luxury and damned incest" (I.v.82-83), but he later on proclaims that Hamlet should not exact revenge on his mother but leave it to heaven. "The ghost expresses (to Gertrude) simultaneous rage, disgust, and protectiveness in his first appearance to Hamlet,"(Smith) which reinforces that the ghost still treats her as his own.

In the second appearance of The Ghost he comes again in the heat of the moment with Gertrude and Hamlet after

"The long 'repressed' desire to take his father's place in his mother's affection is stimulated to unconscious activity by the sight of someone usurping this place exactly as he himself had once longed to do," (Jones). He also may not consciously admit to it or exactly dream about killing his father and marrying his mother the idea of it is unconsciously there. " Lacan stresses, 'is not simply that the subject wanted, desired to kill his father and to violate his mother, but that that [desire] is in the unconscious... and there's surely an echo of that in 'Hamlet,'" (Starks).

Overall in the story Shakespeare was trying to get across that Gertrude although essentially a very non-voluble character she was very essential being one of their main beloved objects of the main three men's lives. Shakespeare also leaves this character to open interpretation for the reader to come to their on conclusions. For example, was she in on the plot to kill her husband and how long had Claudius and her been lovers.
