Act 4 Notes

Act 4 
-Gertrude tells Claudius what hamlet did 
-Claudius wants to a) send hamlet away and b) sweep the murder under the rug. 
-Hamlet doesn't trust Rosencrantz and Guild. He gives them the riddles "the body is with the king but the king is not with the body, the king is but a thing" 
-Claudius paints a picture of Hamlet being like a politician that does bad things but gets away with it because he's a good politician 
-Claudius tells Hamlet he can go to England, where Claudius plans to have him assassinated 
-We see a different Hamlet, he is now a man.
