What natural imagery is used to describe corruption in the Danish Court Hamlet?
The natural imagery used to describe corruption in the Danish Court in Hamlet is that of a garden overgrown with weeds. Denmark is presented as a once-beautiful garden that has been neglected, allowing decay to take hold. This reflects the corruption and moral decline that has taken root in the Danish Court, with Claudius' usurpation of the throne and his subsequent marriage to Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, symbolising the decay and corruption that has taken hold.
