Question #1: 3.1 This scene validates all of Hamlet's actions up to this point in the play and provides seemingly concrete evidence – at least in Hamlet's eyes – that his uncle has a guilty conscience, thereby confirming what the ghost had told him. Without this scene, Hamlet would remain skeptical of the ghost's information and never act against his uncle. He would continue his eccentric behavior without ever confronting his uncle about his father's death.
Question #2: 3.1 Hamlet- Are you absolutely convinced that the ghost's information is trustworthy now that you have seen your uncle's guilty conscience? What will be your next action? Will you stop your wild behavior and start a new scheme? How will you confront your uncle? Claudius-
