Hamlet Summary: At this point in the play, we learn that it is not wise for Hamlet to trust anyone. His uncle may have killed his father, and is now sending his old friends to spy on him. Polonius is also spying on him in the hopes of proving that Hamlet is mad in his love for Ophelia, which she has been instructed not to return. He can't even trust the ghost of his father, because it could be the devil coming to bring the evil out of Hamlet. We don't know what to make of the Queen or Ophelia. They both could be untrustworthy as well. The Queen could have easily been in on Claudius' scheme to kill King Hamlet, and we have no idea whose side Ophelia is on. Will she listen to her father and brother, or completely disregard them?
