"My father's brother, but no more like my fatherThan I to Hercules."

I enjoyed this quote because it really shows the intense hatred Hamlet has towards Claudius. He absolutely loved his father and basically worshiped him. He saw him as a god and thinks Claudius is completely inferior. Hamlet is disgusted by the fact that his father's brother is sleeping with his mother. It is obviously incest and there is a true anger building up inside of him which causes him to lash out at the end of the play. In the quote he tells us that even though the new king is directly related to his father, he is not at all alike him. Then he says he is just as much as alike to his father as Hamlet is to Hercules, which is obviously a significant difference.
