THERE IS NO HAMLET/GERTRUDE FUCK THE FUCKING OEDIPAL COMPLEX AND BY THE WAY THAT IS A STUPID NAME FOR IT SINCE THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF OEDIPUS REX IS THAT HE IS TRYING TO AVOID FUCKING HIS MOTHER.
I have very strong opinions on this. It is all very stupid. If one must insist on assigning incestuous desires to Hamlet, one could make a much better case that it's his dad he had the hots for, since he's always going on about how hot the man was. Hell, you could try it with Claudius, too, since Hamlet bitches so much about how unattractive he is that, hi, in denial lately?
Compared to all that, Hamlet/Gertrude has no textual support at all.
