Question

the tragedy of hamlet, prince of denmark
act iii, scene ii.
a hall in the castle
enter hamlet and certain players.
hamlet: speak the speech, i pray you, as i pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue, but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, i had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines. nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently: for in the very torrent, tempest, and— as i may say—whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance, that may give it smoothness. o! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who for the most part are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb-shows and noise: i would have such a fellow whipped for o’er-doing termagant; it out-herods herod: pray you, avoid it.
first player: i warrant your honour.
hamlet: be not too tame neither, but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action, with this special observance, that you o’erstep not the modesty of nature; for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as ’twere, the mirror up to nature, to show virtue her own feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure. now, this overdone, or comes tardy off,
hamlet: aside. wormwood, wormwood.
player queen: the instances that second marriage move,
are base respects of thrift, but none of love;
a second time i kill my husband dead,
when second husband kisses me in bed.
this excerpt best supports the claim that hamlet
is critical of his mother’s choices.
treats women unkindly.
does not believe in true love.
suspects his mother will kill claudius.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, Hamlet's aside "Wormwood, wormwood" (a bitter herb, symbolizing distaste) and the Player Queen's lines about second marriage (mirroring Hamlet's mother's hasty remarriage after his father's death) show Hamlet's disapproval of his mother's choice to remarry quickly. The other options are inconsistent: there's no general unkindness to women shown, the focus is on his mother's choice (not a denial of true love), and the Player Queen's lines don't imply Hamlet's mother will kill Claudius.

Answer:

is critical of his mother’s choices.
