... that his uncle took his father’s throne and wife. It is Hamlet’s mother's behavior which has most frustrated him. His father had been "so loving" (I ii 144) to his mother, but his mother’s "love" is compared to her "appetite" for sex which he thinks is not right.

(I ii 150) Hamlet’s mother had been married for a long period of time and after her husband’s death she just married her brother-in-law without even waiting for the mourning period to be finished.

... effects of nature on the behavior of formal society. These tendencies of nature surface throughout the film as we see that the society’s attempts to establish rules for love prove unsuccessful. Because the rainstorm coincides with Andre’s arrival, there is a good possibility that Renoir is foreshadowing Andre’s death. The scene begins as Christine and Madame La Bruyere enter the foyer, talking about children’s sore throats. The two halt as they see the arriving aviator, and Christine’s clenched hands and rigid, immobile posture make notable expression of the tension she feels regarding their forthcoming meeting. Rather than cutting, the stationary came ...
