Matt



In act II of Hamlet, the king and queen have been sending people to spy on Hamlet. They send Hamlet's friends, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to try to figure out what is up with Hamlet. They do not mean to betray Hamlet by spying on him, they are just concerned about him and care about his well being. Polonius is also watching Hamlet. He is convinced that Hamlet is going love mad for Ophelia and wants to prove it. At this point Hamlet does not know who to trust. He doesn't even know if he should trust his father's ghost because it may be an evil spirit trying to decieve him.
