This starts off a new scene by Hamlet lecturing actors about how they should act out a play. Polonius also has a tassle with  Guildenstern and Rosencrantz but that is then quickly avoided as Hamlet orders them to help him sort out the players. Hamlet is hot and flustered and is then happy and relieved that his good friend, Horatio enters.

The play that Hamlet directs is an enactment of what would have happened on Hamlets’ Fathers death. It had also shown how the Queen had fell for the killer/murderer. Hamlet feels quite proud about this and commentates and gives points throughout the play.

This scene starts off with Polonius sending Reynaldo, his servant to spy and gather information on Laertes. But as Reynaldo leaves Ophelia enters with tears filling up her eyes and disgruntled. Polonius is intrigued into what has made his daughter feel this way and she carefully explains the state in which she had found Hamlet. Polonius responds with his view of her findings. He tells her that Hamlet must be mad with his love for Ophelia. As he had ordered her to neglect him and keep her distance.

With the start of a new act, it lifts off from where we left off from in Act I Scene V. Hamlet is approached by his late father the new found Ghost that wanders round the castle grounds in search of solace. The Ghost speaks to Hamlet and explains the matter of his death. This angers Hamlet a lot and makes his assumption a reality. His uncle, Claudius the King had killed Hamlet, Senior and then taken his queen and kingdom. Hamlet barrages into a fit of rage and is not just angry at his Uncle but also his Mother aswell. The Ghost of his Father tells him not to blame his mother even tho she is technically in the wrong. He says to “Leave Her To Heaven” and this means to leave her with guilt and let her die knowing her mistake.

The Ghost soon disappears and Horatio and Marcellus question Hamlet on the events. He holds back the information and yet with the echoey voice of the Ghost to swear upon Hamlet’s sword.

In the start of this scene Hamlet is leading off from the cliffhanger of scene IV in which the specter/ghost declares its identity as his father.

Hamlet feels quite emotional at the sight of his late father. He is somehow reassured that it is not just any Ghost but his fathers as it explains the circumstances of his death. Soon after he is then quick to believe the Ghost as it had happened the way Hamlet ha most feared. It had come to be that his Uncle, Claudius poured poison into his Fathers ear whilst he had been sleeping. At this point Hamlet is enraged and confides with his father in finding a way to pursue his revenge.

Hamlet,Horatio and Marcellus surround eachover on what seems to be a cold whispy night. Hamlet picks up on his uncle being drunk and firing cannon balls into what seems to be any desired destination.

He picks up on the point of how some individuals cannot handle rather-large quantities of alcohol than others can. Horatio instead catches sight of the phantasm like entity in their midst. At first Hamlet seems frightened and speaks about super-natural beings and places, such as Goblin and the Heavens. The Ghost beckons and Horatio informs Hamlet that it wants him to follow it. Hamlet hesitates at first but wearily creeps closer to the shape. Hamlet questions the Ghost and it responds “y hour is almost come When I to sulph’rous and tormenting flames Must render up myself.

Hamlet gives pity on it but it quickly declines it saying “Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold. Now Hamlet is intrigued in to what he has to say “Speak, I am bound to hear”. The Ghost replies with`”So art thou to revenge when thou shalt hear”. He declares his identity as Hamlets father and the causes of his death.

Leading off from Hamlets outrage at his serpent-like uncle, Scene 3 starts off with Laertes talking with his sister, Ophelia about her affection with Hamlet. Laertes seems to not trust his motives and warns his sister about possible outcomes. Ophelia hears the sense in his argument but seems to be in love with Hamlet and believes that he really does have true feelings for her. Polonius, Ophelia and Laertes’ father enters and backs up his son’s point.  Mentioning that she does not lose her virginity with him or have any sexual contact as neither of them trust Hamlet as they believe he only wants to get rid of his sexual desires, being an adolescent teen. Realizing Ophelia does not care as much as the first time , being the same thing repeated multiple times, even Polonius apologizes for his use of repetition.

At the start of scene 2, set after the coronation of the new King, Claudius gives a speech on how his new found power will be used and commenting on the recent miss happenings and dramas throughout Denmark. Cornelius and Voltemand outspokenly agree with all that he says in a way in which seems to be they’re way of getting into his good books. The king calls out on Laertes and he responds with his confusion of the king setting sail for France rather than spending time in Denmark where he seems to be most needed.  Later on in the conversation Hamlet is outraged at how his mother could marry his late, fathers passing. His friends Horatio Marcellus enter and begin friendly conversation between eachover.
