Hamlet act 2

HAMLET:
is cool
except
when he is pretending to be  mad.
then he not so cool.
see whats going down here is that Hamlet is getting right on with his whole 'tendin to be mad theme, and he's doing it rather well. He has convinced Ophelia, Polonious, the King and Queen, and even their none too bright spies. He has dramatically exposed himself in a lust enduced fit to Ophelia, and upon seeing his pride and joy she herself had something of a hysterical moment or two and ran to her father to inform him.
Claudius, old kingy, has set his dim witted spies upon Hamlet, and they don't seem to be doing much. Talking of spies, Polonious has sent someone to spy on his son and spread slander about him!!!!
At the end of act 2 Hamlet confides in the audience in ANOTHER soliloquay that he is planning to put on a pay that retells the story of his fathers shameful death so he can see if Claudius looks at all embarassed, because he is not trusting of the ghost, he is unsure whether it was a good spirit or the devil so he needs to find out for himself what the ghost told him was true. So That's The Plan.
bye now
