If you take a look at what happens later in the play, it turns out his grief is completely justifiable; I mean, I know I'd be pretty upset if my uncle killed my dad and married my mom! But I think that Hamlet was kind of a Daddy's Boy and he misses him and in his mind, this extended grief is perfectly reasonable. Really, without the knowledge that his father's ghost gives him, the kind of patronizing concern Claudius shows would be enough to push anyone's buttons in my opinion. Hope that gives you at least a little help on your paper.
