The talk about their luck since the last time they saw each other and Hamlet begins to question their motives. Hamlet said that if they loved him they’d tell him their real reasons for coming, and they told him that the King and Queen had sent them. They see a play about the fall of Troy and Hamlet announces that tomorrow they’ll perform //The Murder of Gonzago//. He leaves Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to go write his speech for the play. While alone he devises a plan to catch Claudius in his guilt, through a play that resembles how he murdered King Hamlet.
