Isn't the key thing that is out of joint the move from premodern feudalism (the dead feudal father) and the rise of modernity (the mother's insatiable appetite)? Hamlet is caught between the two worlds and follows Marx by seeing every solid tradition and institution melt. Moreover, Shakespeare also had to move from the old patronage system to being a theater entrepreneur.
Hamlet's mother's kindheartedness and honestly does not apparently prevent her from being a brutal viking and cold political animal in the final result, reigning knee deep in adultery and regicide. If the kingdom of Denmark were to make a neo-feudal compromise with the viking past to justify the bloodsoaked new reign, must this not be decided in-itself by fatal ends during an emergence into early modernity? The false philosophical universalization Hamlet is subject, on which Gertrude relies to make the dashing King, uncovered by sovereign majesty, to be dispensed with, along with its progeny, so Denmark is state subject. Hamlet's annihilation of the throne of Denmark brings in itself a correlate 'humanist-natural' historical equalization of cold dead abstration fatally escaping into the confused and failed and brutal chaos of warm neo feudal feelings. Hamlet ends the dynasty altogether where it started, in that retardation inherent to that modern linear epoch, so that the ultimate restoration triumph comes at the level of the neo-feudal 'everyone to their proper place', brings the modern compromise to its proper place in itself, rather than an unbounded brutal assertion of the inhuman subject, which relies in itself on the feudal castes for its state power.

Why do we, living in 21 century, always have to bring all our modern understanding to the 17c.'s works of art? Poor Shakespeare ...
So what you're saying is that Georgia Meloni is Gertrude? In which sense: Shakespearean, Updikian, or Eliotian?
