“Questions on Hamlet”

I

3. Horatio has a formal sort of strictly servant like relationship, but as the play goes on, he becomes more of a friend to Hamlet.

II

3. He thinks he's a know-it-all.

4. He always manages to state the obvious well, but he never strikes me as saying much of anything useful.

III

2. Hamlet charges her with ignoring the truth. Our sympathy definitely diminishes as the play goes along.

4. That it was used to entertain everyone.

IV

2. The death of her father and the exile of Hamlet. Act IV Scene V 72-79.

3. Hamlet's madness was brought about by his inner confliction of his duty to avenge his father and his desire to be passive with the situation.

V

2. His appearance gives a different view on the situation of all the dead royalty.

GQ

1. Whether or not to do what is comfortable or to do all that you can to do the right thing. It seems to be the main crisis in the play.

2. From the moment the ghost told me.

7. The play loses some of Hamlet's inner thought.
