The Queen of Denmark is bound to love the King 'til death do them apart, but it's also polite to delay re-marriage after death, to not marry the King's brother, and to make sure that brother didn't murder the King. Gertrude only knows about the first half of that sentence [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation (probably)]] and that turns all the love her son Hamlet has to her into hatred. He doesn't want to kill her, but that doesn't stop him from chewing her out.

* ShooOutTheClowns: Got killed off of by the end of Act IV to make way for the seriousness to come. ''Hamlet'' being what it is, this is naturally done by killing them both off.
