Stepparents and stepchildren (final)

King Claudius is now Prince Hamlets step dad, so when hamlet comes to find out that his uncle is now king and his is now step dad he becomes hate full of his step dad. Hamlet ends up wanting to take the throne from King Claudius.

When you see most relationships that are with young adults and their step parent(s) they tend to go threw a rebellious period in the relationship. The Kid may hate them for being with their real parent. such as in a movie the step dad is with a sons real mom and the kid is not pleased with the out come, he has been the 'man of the house' for a while now and doesn't want that to change. He also may see the step dad as not being good enough for his mother.

The conflicts of having a stepparent are mostly tough. For instance there is the whole trust issues with the parents. The 'right of passage' to be with the other real parent as to see if the stepparent is going to leave or hurt the real parent. But mostly i see it is a trusting thing. As in Hamlet he doesn't like or trust King Claudius at all. He learns later from his fathers ghost that Claudius had his father killed. So he wants to return the favor to King Claudius and in the end he ends up ruining the very thing he tried to keep safe. At the end the land and relations he tried to keep safe had ended up getting destroyed like in the "Disney's The Lion King" when Scar(king Claudius) takes over, everything becomes to a very not nice place to be. The water dries up and the animals leave. When Symba returns home to discover it he ends up taking the throne from Scar and everything returns to normal happy go lucky place it once was.

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a stepparent are that you get to meet new people and you have three parents that love and care for you. What if your stepparent doesn't like you and is just putting on a show for your real parent, like in the movie "The Parent Trap" with Lindsay Lohan. Then that's a down side to the whole relationship bit. What if your step dad was one of your dads friends...that would freak me out. What if one of your parents was poisoned like hamlets dad was, i would want revenge.

The Stepparent will always have a tough time trying to fill the shoes of the person before him. Same way with relationships when you find someone new after you've had a very special relationship before that then he is going to have some big shoes to try and fill along with the hole in your heart.
