The play is now taking place in a more formal setting. They seem to be at a sit down dinner with the king and queen and hamlet.
The king talks about how everyone is sad about the death of the king but it is time to move on now and continue on with the line of royalty.
After king hamlet died the uncle became king and married Hamlet's wife.
King sends Cornelius to give a message to fortinbras.
King talks about laertes who is the child of a good family friend and how he encourages him to go to England to study more.
Hamlet "A little more than kin, and less than kind" situational irony from the aside audience knows something to be true while the character does not
Not letting him in just taking it in not being rude back. Denying his assumption
Hamlet is saying the things happening are just ritual not what is happening inside of him
Visage- facial expressions
Hamlet is acknowledging that you can do all those things but it doesn't mean you are unhappy. You don't know a persons inside. He is beginning to call out those who are or may be faking the ceremonies but don't feel the same inside. He feels horrible inside and is hiding them.
King (uncle) find something he can honor them stabbing his ideas. Grow up and snap out of it you are acting unmanly. And by the way you aren't going back to school. Your next to the thrown but we are going to treat you like a baby. Making hamlet seem crazy or mentally unstable. The idea of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. King is keeping Hamlet close.
He says he will try to obey his mother.
See directly into the mind of the character through Hamlets monologue
Hamlet is pissed. Characterizes his dad as such a great king then his uncle to satyr which is a goat and horrible acts. Hamlet implies that he wishes he didn't have to sit here and see all of this happen. Hamlet is now thinking about suicide because he doesn't have to see this not because he is sad or crazy. He's not giving up he's pissed. Also bashing on his mom. Implying that she did not love his father, that she was a slut, and recognizing incest. Ashamed of her and feels betrayed. Should have mourned a lot longer. Allusion to bible about suicide and being a sin. Against biblical references.
His tone of the questions was now investigative detective, asking very detailed questions. Fact based questions. Dispassionate more interested in details. Contrast between passionate and dispassionate. Very intelligent teenager who is in his wits. Very appropriate and mature conversation with Horatio and Marcellus.
