World views

Hamlets parents (before his father was murdered) did expect him to inherit the throne which can be a worldview in a way. After his fathers death there was the obligation given to Hamlet to avenge his fathers death. His famliy, mostly his mother and uncle, handed down the worldview that he should be tolerable and go along with their marriage. So he is expected to be tolerant of an outrageous situstaion. Hamlet wasn't expected to rebel.
