In this extract of the Act III  Prince Hamlet compares his dead father (the king of Denmark) with his uncle Claudius, which became the new king of Denmark because he got married with the Queen (Hamlet’s mother). Hamlet tells her mother that her dead husband looked like a God: as a matter of fact Hamlet shows some qualities his father had in common with Greek mythology. On the other size, Hamlet persuades his mother that her new husband was a murderer (he killed his brother to take the crown) and a villain: he had only bad qualities and was not the twentieth part of the tithe part of his father.
