As the play opens, Hamlet, in a cloak of deep mourning, broods over the untimely death of his father and the hasty remarriage of his mother.
Dialogue
Hamlet: "Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt,
Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! Oh, God! God!
How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
Seem to me all the uses of this world!..." (I.ii.129-134)
