Hamlet

So today we talked about how Hamlet was being "crazy" around Ophelia and whether he was really acting. I think he was acting because he had to get everyone to think he was crazy, except for the people he told. Since he acted around Ophelia, she went and told Polonius and then he went and told the king and queen who went and got Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. So now he has basically the entire court believing he is crazy, which is what he wanted. And so far, I think he is just acting crazy, but we'll see as we read more.
