She stands by while Claudius verbally abuses Hamlet and continually chooses to defend and support Claudius over Hamlet. Her loyalty is not with her son but with him. The Queen betrays her son by marrying Claudius. Shakespeare uses the Queen to show people that it is possible for a person who has betrayed their loyalty and friendship to someone to redeem themselves. Shakespeare shows that some people’s loyalty and friendship may be betrayed and then regained, or that it can be shallow and easily bought, or that it will be so strong it will last through anything. He uses the Queen, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, and Horatio to show the different levels and types of friendship and loyalty.
