Act 3 scene i & ii

Alright so basically in Act 3 scene i, Hamlet is acting really weird and depressed again...going on another emo spree. There's the famous "to be or not to be..." quote that everyone affiliates with Shakespeare's work. He freaks out around Ophelia again, and denounces women, marriages, and humankind in general. Claudius comes to the conclusion this behavior is not from love. He declares that he will send Hamlet to England, to get a change of scenery, as to maybe change his perspective on life. (maybe he'll stop being all suicidal and jazz). Polonius spies on Hamlet and Gertrude from behind a tapestry to learn if he is really mad with love.

In scene ii, Hamlet preps the actors to protray the play he has written for them. Horatio has a agreed to watch Claudius and see his reaction to the play itself to see if there is any sign of guilt. Hamlet keeps saying some weirdo sexual things to Ophelia during the play, as it plays itself out. He also keeps a sort of color commentary going on with it. Horatio comes to Hamlet and has discovered yes that Claudius behavior was that of guilt. He is then told Gertrude wants to see him. He spends a moment by himself to prep himself cuz he's going to be honest with everything he is going to say and not to lose control of himself. He says "I will speak daggers to her, but use none."

Overall these scenes were crazy. Hamlet's character does develop a lot. He goes from weirdo depressed emo cutter kid to like psycho creeper who wants some revenge. Hamlet has got some psychological problems, like he needs help. But they don't have any psychiatrist so i guess the only therapy that will work is if he totally kills Claudius. Now he's got some verification that Claudius killed his Father so now he's gotta go lay the smack down. Pretty B.A. if you ask me.
