“My father’s spirit – in arms! All is not well. I doubt some foul play. Would the night were come! Till then, sit still, my soul. Foul deeds will rise, though all the earth o’erwhelm them, to men’s eyes” (39).
The early impressions of Hamlet appear to be that he is the protagonist in which the reader is rooting for. The reader initially likes him for what has happened to his family. His uncle marries his mother following the death of his father and when Claudius does not seem to respect young Hamlet we admire him more. Claudius and Queen Gertrude reject Hamlet’s request to return to the University of Wittenberg and even after what has happened Hamlet respects their decision and does not put up a fight. Despite Claudius’ malicious acts, Hamlet refrains from assailing him. When told about the apparition of his father, Hamlet gets excited as does the reader for this loveable protagonist.
