Hamlet Act Two

Lord Hamlet with his doublet all unbraced, No hat upon his head, his stockings fouled, Ungartered, and down hyved to his ankle Ophelia to Polonius; Hamlet shows up with no shirt, no hat, his pants at his ankles with a sad, puppy dog look, he looks crazy like he has lost his mind
Come, go with me, I will go seek the king. his is the very ecstasy of love Polonius to Ophelia; Polonius thinks that Hamlet is acting crazy because he wants Ophelia, but he is wrong because Hamlet id crazy because of his father’s death
As it is common for the younger sort to lack discretion Polonius to Ophelia; The older people look to the younger people and say that they lack discretion, they live everything so intensely and have not learned things
Your visitation shall receive such thanks as fits a king’s remembrance Gertrude to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern; If you guys help the king you will get what you want
But we both obey, and here give up ourselves in the full bent to lay our service freely at your feet to be commanded Guildenstern to Gertrude; We will spy on Hamlet tell us what to do and we will do it
I doubt it is no other but the main: His father’s death and out oerhasty marriage Gertrude to King; He is not upset about Ophelia it is his fathers death and our marriage
brevity is the soul of wit King to Gertrude; short and to the point is a sign of intelligence (irony takes a long time to say it)
More matter with less art Queen to King; get to the point
Excellent well y’are a fishmonger Hamlet to Polonius; you are a pimp with Ophelia
to be honest as this world goes is to be one man picked out of ten thousand Hamlet to Polonius; 1/10,000 people are honest
in my youth I suffered much extremity for love Polonius aside; when Polonius was younger he suffered a lot for romance just like he thinks Hamlet is suffering even though he is faking it
though this be madness yet there is method int Polonius aside; there is a method to my madness, Polonius senses Hamlet is up to something
These tedious old fools Hamlet aside; clueless and pathetic
Denmark is a prison Hamlet to Rosencrantz; Hamlet is trapped in Denmark with his mother, girlfriend etc, he would rather be in Wittenburg
for there is nothing either hood or bad but thinking makes it so Hamlet to Rosencrantz; Everything depends on the attitude and how to look at things to him Denmark is basically prison
why it appeareth no other thing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors Hamlet to Guildenstern and Rosencrantz; despite the wonders of the natural world, Hamlet does not see the joy in the world through nature
why, what an ass am I! Hamlet soliloquy; Hamlet should be killing his uncle when he is actually doing a soliloquy
and the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape Hamlet soliloquy; Hamlet is worried that the ghost may no be his fathers ghost but the devil who pretends to be his father to trick him, he will not completely trust the ghost until he is sure that everything is true
the plays the thing wherein I will catch the conscience of the king Hamlet soliloquy; Hamlet will watch the king duting the play which is a reenactment of the death of the king, if the new king looks guilty then he will know that the ghost is telling the truth
