Sons of Anarchy has commonly been called "Hamlet on Harleys ''. Similar to Hamlet, Jax 's father was usurped by his father 's SAMCRO "brother '', who then married Jax 's mother. There are also intermittent hints at an Oedipal complex between Jax and Gemma, reflecting 20th - century interpretations of the relationship between Hamlet and his mother Queen Gertrude. Jax 's murder of the innocent Jury in season 7 mirrors Hamlet 's murder of the innocent Polonius in that it ultimately leads to his downfall.
