i gave a section of my essay to my tutor and they commented below.

Hamlet compares his father to his uncle which he exemplifies in ‘my father’s brother, but no more like my father than I to Hercules’. His comparison of his uncle to his father being align to himself and the greek god, Hercules, who is know for his strength shows hamlet does not view anything positive because he does not see his uncle living up to his fathers standard, since he replaced him. (Try to analyse your examples more rather than explain them. Also, you need to tie back to the question.)

what do they mean by analyse and does this link with cynicism:drool5:

Hamlet compares his father to his uncle which he exemplifies in ‘my father’s brother, but no more like my father than I to Hercules’. {To whom is Hamlet speaking and why does he speak?} His comparison of his uncle to his father being align to himself {himself or his father?} and the greek god, Hercules, who is know for his strength shows hamlet does not view anything positive because he does not see his uncle living up to his fathers standard {Give evidence from elsewhere, that shows Hamlet's anger at an uncle he views as a scurrilous, lecherous (in relation to Gertrude) and regicidal (according to his father's ghost).} , since he replaced him.
