What's Happening?
Act 2,
Scene 2
SARAH: In the last scene we saw how Hamlet frightened Ophelia. But it's not clear if he's distraught because Ophelia has rejected him, as her father commanded, or if Hamlet's strange behavior is just part of his feigned madness.
RALPH: We also see that Hamlet's bizarre behavior has not gone unnoticed by the rest of the court. Polonius proposes the idea that Hamlet has gone crazy from his love of Ophelia.
SARAH: The King has called two of Hamlet’s old friends to court, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in order to help him find out what’s wrong with Hamlet.
RALPH: It’s not obvious to them, Sarah, and frankly it’s not obvious to me either!
