Eulogy In Hamlet

In Hamlet, they make that correlation through the description of Denmark being now described as poisoned, ill, and corrupted under Claudius. We see this through the eulogy’s of Hamlet speaking of his father, giving us the perception that he was an honorable king. In retrospect, we have Claudius who has a tendency to unsettle those around him. He does not have a firm grip on the empire such as the nervous soldiers in the first scene and the commoners outside the castle who Claudius fears. Hamlet speaks in terms of rot and corruption, describing the world as an "unweeded garden" and has a fascination towards the idea of decomposing corpses. Hamlet only seems comfortable with things that are dead: he admires his father, claims to love Ophelia
