Hamlet What does Claudius mean by delight and dole? Act 1 Asked by Thomas M #936247 on 6/28/2020 4:36 PM Last updated by Aslan on 6/28/2020 5:49 PM
Claudius says there is delight in the fact that he is now king and marrying the queen. Dole, or lamentation, means they are sad because of the late King's death.
