Accepted Answer

Queen Gertrude in William Shakespeare's play is indeed the mother of Hamlet.

Here's why Option 3 is correct and the others are incorrect:

*   **Option 3: Hamlet (Correct)** - Queen Gertrude is the Queen of Denmark and the mother of Prince Hamlet in Shakespeare's play *Hamlet*. The entire plot revolves around Hamlet's reaction to his father's death and his mother's subsequent marriage to his uncle, Claudius. Gertrude's relationship with Hamlet is central to the play.

*   **Option 1: Macbeth (Incorrect)** - Macbeth is the protagonist of Shakespeare's play *Macbeth*. His mother is not a character in the play. Lady Macbeth is his wife, not his mother.

*   **Option 2: Antonio (Incorrect)** - Antonio is a character in Shakespeare's play *The Merchant of Venice*. His mother is not a character in the play.

*   **Option 4: Ophelia (Incorrect)** - Ophelia is a character in Shakespeare's play *Hamlet*. She is the daughter of Polonius and the love interest of Hamlet, not his sibling or relative. Gertrude is not her mother.
