Gertrude as shallow,flighty or as strong-minded,intelligent?

Gertrude is a shallow,flighty,sensual woman whose character
is summarized by Hamlet in the words "Fraility, thy name is
woman." OR Gertrude is a strong-minded, intelligent, and
sensible woman whose "tragic flaw" is her desire for sexual
gratification? Interpretation and why?
