Wow why am I friends with you couldn't put it more normally
HAHAHHAHAHAHA o3o/

hamlet wanted to have sexual relations with his lovely mother who had sex with his uncle

edit happy 100
And what supports this Oedipus Complex theory? Because Oedipus Complex is explicitly killing the father and blindly having sex with the mother.

Hamlet didn't kill his father, it was a regicide and fratricide by Claudius.
And there were no sexual intimacy between Hamlet and Gertrude, rather there was a lot of anger towards Gertrude due to his moral dilemma regarding revenge fuelled by his sense of despair and betrayal, further accelerated by her disloyalty to King Hamlet.

Hamlet's complex characteristic is hella confusing. I agree there isn't an obvious Oedipus Complex, but then again we never knew what Shakespeare really thought when he created the character of Hamlet.

Freud's theorisation on Hamlet's inaction staples onto the repeating references and Hamlet's obsession towards Gertrude's sexuality. His sitting of the play could also be theorised that Hamlet imagined himself as the one who had murdered Gonzago, as if I remember correctly he sat through it twice - reenactments of the affair and the murder. Also, his beginning of his obsession with Gertrude kind of mirrored in his attitude towards Ophelia - filled with deceit and wickedness, also perhaps an expression of his feelings of betrayal towards his mother.
