These scenes all seem to be building up to one large event. A lot happens, but nothing happens at the same time. The plot and tension are building to a big moment which I believe will occur in the following scenes. One thing that really shocked me was Hamlet's decision to kill Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. After all, these are his former best friends. While I side with Hamlet, I think it does show he is in some kind of mad state to be drawn to such violence. His uncle and mother are not completely crazy for accusing him of going insane. I also think it is important to talk about poor Ophelia. She is heartbroken for so many reasons. She really is crazy now. Her father's death has broken her to such a point that I am not sure that she could ever recover from it mentally. I know she made some mistakes, but I like Ophelia. I really do feel bad for her and hope that Hamlet can come back into her life to help her. Even though he did kill her father. I also think it is interesting how all of a sudden Laertes appears back into the story. He is so defensive of the father that had secretly sent men to spy on his son. I believe there is more going on with Laertes than is being shown because of Polonius's spy, and I think it is going to come out soon. After all, we have no idea anything that has been happening with Laertes. I am excited to keep reading and uncover some of the secrets that seem to slowly be coming to the surface!
