Hamlet Reaction Essay

King Claudius was so sad to hear that Rosencrantz and Guildenstern through all their efforts, were unable to get to the cause of hamlet’s distemper, so Claudius then became part of polonius’ scheme of spying on hamlet while he talks to Ophelia. Ophelia was supposed to confront Hamlet and to fake her love for him. The trap worked, but the following were quiet a disaster. Hamlet’s reaction was so far off from what Polonius believed was the cause of Hamlet’s distemper.
