Answer 1

I think this is your question, right?

Why did Shakespeare intend Hamlet to have an Oedipus complex?

The first question to ask yourself is this: Did Shakespeare intend Hamlet to have an Oedipus complex? And if your answer is yes, are you sure? What is it in the play that tells you this?

Answer 2

Yes.

Yes, I think so..when he tells her mother Gertrude not to sleep with Claudius, the king...

However, I also believe that he only told his mother not to sleep with Claudius because he cares about her.... :|
