Use of royal "we": In Shakespeare's time, when kings or queens represented their countries and talked about public issues, they

used the royal "we"; when dealing with private matters, they used "I." When a monarch switches from first-person plural to first-person singular, this is a textual clue that signals a change in situation or tone. Why does Claudius continue to use the royal "we" when addressing Hamlet, whom he calls "son"?

Answer:

King Claudius used the royal 'we' while addressing to Hamlet because he talked to him as a king and not a father.

Explanation:

"Hamlet" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. Shakespeare has been wise in his usage of his words and phrases. He always has chosen words wisely that have meaning.

<u>In the play, King Claudius is seen using the royal 'we' while addressing to Hamlet because he never talked to him like a father but as a king. Though in his words, King Claudius would call him 'son' but he never truly accepted him as his son</u>.

This is why Claudius used the royal 'we' while addressing to Hamlet in the play.

Answer:
