When does Hamlet learn that his mother is guilty of murder?

 Itz a big play. A mess. But I'll say it is a parody of other plays.
This I can proove. Open any eedition with substantial notes, like the
Arden; there they have great notes on the other targets of
Shakespeare's big play: The children actors, for example. The play is
full of inside jokes aimed at an immediate audience, some of them
other playwrights and actors and businessmen. In ther words,
Shakespeare's rivals.

I suspect that Sir Lawrence O has and Mel Gibson added to it and the
whole Freudian school, made much of Hamlet and his Mommy, too much, me
thinks the lady doth not matter too much to the thing that is the play
on the conscience of men, Kings. Of course, there was a lady on the
throne for a long time there n England. But she, famously said, she
was Richard, the Poet.
