Hamlet..Sexuality..Women..Hmm..

It is interesting to note how Hamlet's got a serious problem with his mother's sexuality. Is this related to Hamlet wanting to control the sexuality of the female characters? It seems that Hamlet feels that women are contagious. One would think that he's disgusted by Gertrude's incestuous marriage to Claudius, however, Hamlet can hardly stand to think about his mother having sex, EVER.

Hamlet also thinks his uncle's out of control, he calls him a satyr, which can be defined as a mythical half-man half-goat creature with a hyperactive sex-drive. He compares his uncle to his mother's sexuality being out of control and overgrown.

Hamlet has a view that all women are breeders of sinners which obviously reveals that he doesn't think much of them. This would also explain why he thinks sex is so disgusting. At the same time, this shows a lack of self-confidence and we can see that he doesn't think much of himself either. He considers himself being one of those "sinners" that's been "bred" by a woman. As a reader, it also seems that Hamlet doesn't think he's much better than a "maggot." In fact, Hamlet says it would be better if his "mother had not borne" him at all. Do you think that this is related to Hamlet's desire for his flesh to "melt"?

GHOST
Do not forget: this visitation
Is but to whet thy almost blunted purpose.
But, look, amazement on thy mother sits:
O, step between her and her fighting soul:
Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works:
Speak to her, Hamlet.
(3.4.1)

Acording to this passage, it seems that Hamlet has almost forgotten all about the ghost's orders for him to leave Gertrude "to heaven." This passage seems like it would make a good piece of evidence for someone who wants to argue that Hamlet is more upset by Gertrude's sexuality than his father's murder. But why is it that Hamlet has something against women and also sexuality?
