Claudius said to "suck it up" because he killed Hamlet's father & wanted him dead. If one of Claudius's treasured people died, he wouldn't have said that. For me, of course mourning someone I love is important. It could take me weeks, months, years to get over it, & move on with life, but no matter what, I would mourn. I would say this, but, if someone I loved died, I would never get over it, & keep it within me forever.

People can't control theirselves when they are missing someone. However, keep sad is not a good way because is can't stop someone's pass away.

I think a person need to take a long time to accept the fact that a important person passing away. His uncle give him a totally wrong instruction to him and no one could so easily accept his father's death. We can infer that his uncle must have some un-telling thing so that he want Hamlet to forget his father's death.

Same as lots go people said I agree with Claudius wants Hamlet to suck it off and get over this situation.But it doesn't mean Hamlet should forget his father at all.If I were hamlet's father,I would Hamlet to get over mine death and move on.Also,I think we can mourn for a person for a long time that we want but it is better not to impact our normal life.

If I were Hamlet, I think I'd be mourning as long as he did, maybe more, because I just lost someone who's really important to me, and I couldn't just get over it very easily. But what Claudius did, to me, seems understandable. You shouldn't mourn too long. I don't knw if there should be a certain period of time you should mourn, but you have try at least forget and start living again, not like hamlet, who seems to hv fallen too deep in his depression. But then Claudius is just messed up (for telling him to gett over it, etc), cause he's the reason hamlet's being that way.

I disagree with Claudius’s idea because it is not effective to stop one’s mourning. We naturally feel sadness after the death of someone we know at least once in our life. We should admit the sadness after losing a person we have respected, not offend it simply because it makes one to look weak. If I were Hamlet, I would mourn much longer than he did but not show my emotion to others.

I think that getting over someone's death is hard. It might be different from culture to culture, but I personally think that getting over one's death is hard. Last time, Ms. Boyd told us that in Canada, they don't mourn as long as Korea when someone not related to you die. She made example for Sewol incident in Korea, and she said that in Canada, the mourn won't last as long as Korea. AS a result, I think it will be different from nations to nations.
I believe that getting over one's death is hard, especially when we think about someone we love. It is normal that we mourn for long time, like Hamlet. I think Claudius and Gertrude are the ones that are weird to mourn for less than 2 months. Well, they were both blinded by power, so I understand. However, if they loved the deceased king, they should've be lamenting. But the problem with Hamlet is that he mourns too publicly.He should learn how to hide his true feelings, like grown ups. Sometimes, we need to hide our true feeling for the situation, people and our own incentive. I think that whining about his family's death publicly, as a prince, was childish and immature.

I guess I won't be really mourn from someone passing away if it isn't my immediate family or my homies. Plus, everyone dies eventually.

I totally disagree with Claudius. Someone's death is not a thing that people can "get over it" very easily. Especially when that death belongs to someone who was very close and dear to you, like a family member. I would be furious like Hamlet when I hear such thing like that, and I think Claudius was just acting very cold and disrespectful towards Hamlet.

I think it's really depends, but I may cry a lot and become depressed for a long long times if my father died. So if my uncle told me the same thing as Claudius, I will be really mad like Hamlet...maybe.. it has never happened to me before, so I don't know.

I believe that Cluadius doesn't have the right to tell Hamlet when to stop being sad about his father's death because losing someone is a very emotional thing and it hurts when you lose a member of your family. Time can heal those kind of wounds slowly and it will eventually heal Hamlet, although he did you mad on the process. Losing someone can change a person entirely because it leaves some kind of damage to them.

I agree with you Danielle. I really didnt like how our class said Hamlet was childish to mourn over his father's death for too long. I don't think we can simply judge that time because that depends on the person and how much that person felt towards the deceased. Someone can be sad for over a year or something, and we can't say that's childish because that's how close the person felt. It's not like the person can get over it whenever he or she wants to.

I disagree with Claudius and I don't think Hamlet is wrong. It really takes long time to recover when one lost someone who is very important to him or her. I even think it is almost impossible to recover perfectly. Sad and heartbreaking things are hard to remove from the memory. Claudius is just making Hamlet worse by telling those thing.
