Overall in this scene Hamlet is presented as a women, as a weak being. He wants a speech to be spoken in the play that's in the play, this is written by Hamlet and it is to find out whether Claudius did actually kill his father. He already has conformation that his father was murdered by Claudius but he wants be even more sure? Later on he gets angry, however he doesn't act upon this anger, he expresses himself through words. He then comes up with an idea that he already came up with which is to put the little speech into the play. This presents him as a little mad, I think when he is talking to Polonius he does put it on a little.
Hamlet wants to escape the idea that he is feminine, he wants to act but he also wants to be sure, so he writes his feelings into a little speech. feminine? He doesn't escape the idea that he is turning into a drab. This is played off from Claudius calling Hamlet a women with the ''unmanly grief''. Hamlet is presented as a weak character in this scene of Act 2 because of the way he has gone from pumped up and ready to take revenge after talking to the ghost to then writing a speech to make sure it was Claudius who killed his father.
