WHAT I THINK WHEN I THINK OF ACT ||| (AP English)

SCENE |
-I think it's kind of funny that nobody knows why Hamlet is so upset...gee, I wonder why, it's not like anybody he loved was murdered by his uncle (Claudius) and his mom (Gertrude) get married as soon as she could. Oh wait! that's what's going on.
-I understand why Rosencrantz and Guildenstern would want to tell Hamlet's uncle and mom about his emotional state but couldn't they just say "Your mom and uncle are worried about you. What's going on?"
-Why does Claudius want to spy on Hamlet and Ophelia? creepy. There's a thing called privacy.
-When Hamlet says, "and thus conscience makes cowards of us all", is he talking about the way Claudius reacted?
-Hamlet was an a**hole telling Ophelia to go to a convent so she could give birth to sinner.
-Polonius is kind of annoying because he is dumb

SCENE ||
- I'm impressed with Hamlet's intelligence in creating a play that shows whats going on in his life.
-If I were Claudius I would get the hint that Hamlet knows the truth.
-Does Horatio know about Claudius killing Hamlet Sn? How does he know? What does he think?

SCENE |||
-Claudius is right in being worried about Hamlet's actions.
-Claudius is an evil step dad, he just sends Hamlet to England...
-Does Claudius love Gertrude?
-Hamlet shows his trust for revenge when he is willing to wait to kill his uncle

SCENE IV
-Gertrude is a bad mother in agreeing with Polonius (I think)
-what is wrong with Gertrude that she didn't react to Hamlet killing Polonius?
-Did Gertrude helped Claudius Kill Hamlet sn? Does she suspect anything?
