3/10 MINUTES

Mr. Lazarow began the class by first asking if there were any questions about our essays due this friday. Since there were none, we continued on to Hamlet act 3, scene2. During act 3, scene 2 the players acted out The Murder of Gonzaga. Before they began, Hamlet told them to add an extra scene which was the killing of the king killed by his nephew which is symbolic to Hamlet killing Claudius. This is a public threat by Hamlet to Claudius' life which everyone in attendance saw. During the previous scene Hamlet also made a private threat to Claudius' life when he said that he would kill all those who are married.

Before the play, Hamlet proved a point to Polonius, Guildenstern, and Rosencrantz who were trying to get information out of Hamlet that they could not play him but he could easily play them and make them do whatever he wanted.

By the end of the scene when Hamlet is planning on going to see his mother, he is very angry. During his ending soliloquy he has to remind himself not to attack his mother.
