1) Claudius asks Hamlet to stay at court and not return to the city (actually, he asks Hamlet to quit mourning over his dead father because it’s unmanly). Hamlet’s like, “Hey, I’ll do what I want…and you’re not my dad, anyway, so stop pretending like it!” (Act I, scene ii).

2) During that same scene, the queen says that Hamlet’s grief is unseemly; he gets upset because it’s as if she’s implying that his grief is fake or contrived. He angrily responds to her, “There’s nothin fake or untoward about my grief; my feelings are real and genuine. I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, fake this kind of pain” (1.2.76-86).

3) Later, when Hamlet is really fed up with his mother’s actions (because she married Claudius so quickly after the old king’s death) he confronts her and rebukes her actions. This is, for me, one of THE most powerful scenes of the play because Hamlet finally vents his disgust with his mother’s actions; he’s angry with her for going from his “Hyperion” father, to Claudius, a “satyr.” A good quote from here is Hamlet yelling at Gertrude: “ O shame, where is thy blush? / Rebellious hell, / If thou canst mutine in a matron’s bones, / To flaming youth let virtue be as wax / And melt in her own fire” (3.4.81-85).

And, well, there’s also the scene where Polonius, Ophelia’s father, rebukes her for her relationship with Hamlet. I can’t really remember where that is specifically, but it culminates in the famous “nunnery” scene wherein Hamlet basically calls Ophelia a whore. Anyway, the point is that Ophelia must choose between her lover (Hamlet) and her father; there’s not so much verbal conflict here, but emotional conflict within her, if that makes sense.

Hope that helps!

Betrayal.
