Hamlet's father has recently been killed in war. Soon after, hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude marries his uncle, Claudius. This greatly upsets Hamlet because his mother barely grieved her husbands death before moving on. Hamlet sees this as weak and incestuous.
Hamlet believes that he must hod his tongue about his discontents with his mother. I believe this is because he thinks he must honor his mother and uncle and be happy for their marriage, despite the death of his father.
