At this point in the play, my impression on Hamlet is that he his remorseful, yet ambitious. He shows these qualities throughout act two on multiple occasions. Exploring Act two, one will find most of the time Hamlet is either mourning his father’s death, or working very diligently to show the Queen that the King is at fault for Hamlet’s father’s death. Hamlet shows remorse throughout scene two exclaiming “but break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.” (1. 2. 162). He is saying that his heart is breaking because of his father’s death, but he is unable to act upon his feelings because his mother has asked him to move on from the situation. Hamlet rebukes himself saying “Am I a coward?” for his failure to enact quick revenge upon Claudius
