Shakespeare's Hamlet: Frailty, thy name is woman to his uncle. He refers to his mother when he makes the statement “Don't let me think: Frailty, they're called woman / A little month or before those shoes were old” (Act I.ii.146-147). Hamlet is in a state of emotional distress due to the death of his father. In the statement “Fragility, thy name is woman,” fragile connotes delicacy, unreliability, and moral corruptibility, Heilbrun argues that Gertrude is not a weak character who lacks “depth and vigorous intelligence.” He attempts to help Hamlet adjust to his father's death and his marriage to his uncle. She clearly loves her son and is concerned about his increasingly disturbed appearance and behavior (Ellen). Even when Hamlet scolds her, in the wardrobe scene, for giving herself to Claudius, "In the rancid sweat of a soaked bed, / Stewed in corruption, honey and love," Gertrude asks him to stop, but calls him "sweet Hamlet" (3.4.92–97), (Ellen). Gertrude cares for Hamlet with motherly love. In Act I.ii.68 he begs Hamlet to "throw away his night-colour" and his two months of mourning. It shows how she loves Hamlet, when she begs him "not to return to the University of Wittenberg", this shows that she loves him and wants him to stay with her. In Act II.ii.35 Gertrude also asks Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to visit Hamlet, to discover the cause of his madness. This shows that she is worried about Hamlet's condition. In (Act III.ii.101) Before the players begin their enactment of Gonzago's murder, Gertrude tells Hamlet to come and sit with her, as accompanying her might allow her to prevent any embarrassing behavior at social gatherings, which might create conflict. Gertrude also tells Hamlet that she offended Claudius to prevent further conflict between Hamlet and Her brother and father feel free to give her orders. For example, Laertes tells her: “Whose chief he is. Then if he says he loves you / so far it suits your wisdom to believe it” (Act I.iii.24-25). She has no choice as a woman in a male-dominated society, and this is what separates her from Hamlet. Her obedience does not allow her to express her feelings and her ability to act is determined by the men who control her. He obeys his father when he says, "As to give words or speak to the lord Hamlet / Mind what I command thee, come thy ways / I will obey, my Lord" (Act I.iii.135-137). To determine the cause of Hamlet's madness without any comment showing that she is not free to object. The king and her father order her to speak to Hamlet so that the king can spy on the two of them. He has few opportunities to practice for free
