Ophelia's Song

Hamlet has left for England, leaving Ophelia going crazy. She wants to speak with the Queen, so Gertrude goes to talk to her. When she gets there, Ophelia is singing random songs and dancing around and cannot even put together a comprehensible sentence. King Claudius comes and attempts to speak to Ophelia, but she leaves only to return at a later time.

Laertes seeks revenge on his father's murder. His body is found and Laertes is upset with the fact that there was not a proper service for Polonius. He demands that his father receives an extravagant service.

Meanwhile, Hamlet returns to Denmark. A sailor who spotted him tells Horatio.


Why do you think Ophelia went crazy? Do you think Polonius should receive a proper service? Why do you think Hamlet returned to Denmark?
