In reading Hamlet as well as other novels, it brings up many questions. In the "The character of Hamlets mother" it brought up questions that I also wondered after reading the story several time. When you first read a book you dont pick up many tiny details that may be vital to the story. One question that I always wanted to be answered was if Gertrude was having an affair with Claudius BEFORE Hamlet was killed. These unanswered questions, to me, is what makes the book so good. It gives you information to have a story but doesn't give an extent to detail.
I thought it was interesting how Freud came about the homosexuailty of a female. Many of Freud's analysis on women seem demeaning, and most of the time is, but it fuels for new, more logical theories to be produced.
