Hamlet is at this point in the story a very fragile character who is going through some hard times. Hamlet is very depressed and wants to kill himself but knows that he can not because it is against god's rules and another reason is probably because his father will resent him for it and he does not want to upset the person he looks up to the most.

We learn many things about Hamlet in this Act. We learn that he still grieving his father's death and that he is not taking this well. This is because really looked up to his father and saw his father as a god. He wanted to stay alongside his father.

Hamlet sees himself as this lion and sees his uncle as Hercules. Hercules was the one who killed the lion. Hamlet feels helpless right now. He feels as though he has no one to turn to and King Claudius is taking advantage of this.

In this excerpt, it explains that Hamlet does not see King Claudius as his father which is why he made the analogy of comparing himself to Hercules. They are not the same person.

In this excerpt, Hamlet was referring to father who he saw as a god among men. He saw his father as someone who could do no wrong.

This is a quote that basically explains itself. The ghost reveals who killed King Hamlet. Hamlet wants to take revenge on King Claudius and this also does not help Hamlet's moral dilemma.

"Hamlet, listen. the official story is that, sleeping in my garden, a snake bit me: so everyone in Denmark is vilely misled by a lying account of my death. Know this, noble youth: the serpent that stung your father's life away now wears his crown! Hamlet: As I suspected! My uncle!" (Shakespeare 1.5.73).

Well the quote kind of explains itself but I will go deeper into this quote. The ghost is basically saying that he is the ghost of King Hamlet and that he will remain a ghost until all the wrong he did during his lifetime has perished, so maybe this is foreshadowing for something going on later? We as the audience get to figure out what sins the ghost was referring to.

"I am you father's ghost; doomed for a certain period to walk at night, and during the daytime to fast in fires, till the wicked sins done during my lifetime are burnt and purged away" (Shakespeare 1.4.71).

Laertes is giving advice to Ophelia that her relationship with Hamlet is nothing more than a little fling and should not last long. Laertes says this because he does not want Ophelia to be used by Hamlet.

Laertes to Ophelia: "As for Hamlet, and his interest in you: regard it as of no significance - as a youthful flirtation; an early flowering of nature in its springtime; fast-blooming, therefore not enduring" (Shakespeare 1.3.53-55).

"If only my too solid flesh would melt, thaw, and turn itself into dew; or that Almighty had not prohibited suicide! Oh, God, God! How weary stale, boring and purposeless everything on this earth seems to be!" (Shakespeare 1.2.43).

Hamlet had a pretty intense moral dilemma in act 1. Hamlet was very depressed because of his father dying. And to top it off it was even worse because it was his uncle Claudius who killed him to take the throne. It also does not make anything better because Hamlet's mother could also be in on the plot to kill Hamlet. He feels like he has nothing and wishes he was dead.
