Gertrude did not betray either her husband or her son. If Gertrude had betrayed Hamlet Sr., he would have told his son to seek revenge from Gertrude, but he didn't. And Hamlet Sr. Would know if Gertrude was responsible for his death because he (just like anyone who had the ability would do) probably went back and investigated his own death. Infact Gertrude was clrearly "on Hamlet's side" because she pretty much sacrificed her own life to try and save her son's.:
| GERTRUDE |
| | He's fat, and scant of breath.— |
| | Here, Hamlet, take my napkin, rub thy brows. |
| | The queen carouses to thy fortune, Hamlet. |
| | (picks up the cup with the pearl)
| HAMLET | | 285 | Good madam.
| | CLAUDIUS | | | Gertrude, do not drink.
| | GERTRUDE | | | I will, my lord. I pray you, pardon me. (drinks) |
