first recognition of hamlet not being crazy mad, but crafty mad.
-who's side are rosencraft and guildenstern on? Claudius.
-by liking like we are doing the right hung we can convince people we aren't malicious -the
-first time in play we hear from Claudius that Claudius feels guilty
-Ophelia is set up to get information out of hamlet
-hamlet to be or not to be soliloquy
-hamlet is weary of Ophelia because of his mother, Gertrude.
-hamlet doesn't trust Ophelia's honesty, her intentions. Hamlet lays it down on Ophelia showing his paranoia of distrust for those around him.
-Claudius and Polonius listen to Hamlet and Ophelia's exchange and Claudius reforms his impressions about Hamlet
-There is a change of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" to "remove the threat"
-Claudius wants Hamlet to leave
-Polonius agrees but proposes that after the play Gertrude talks to hamlet to try and get him to reveal his true feelings
-Hamlet tells the actors to act natural and act the play out to the word it was written. Not to overdo it. But to make sure to not under do it either. Hamlet wants this to be genuine and real. He doesn't want the actors to improvise at all.
