Act 2

Act 2 scene 1
-polonius wants Reynaldo to pretend that he knows a lot about laertes so that he can find out more 
-Reynaldo doesn't want to say something that isn't true about laertes and make people think he is worse than he is
-by indirections find directions out 
-polonius is a schemer 

Act 2 scene 2
-uncle sent out arrests for his nephew who now obeys him
-nephew still wants to go against the polish 
-hamlets dad didn't kill the king but he defeated the forces of the king 
-brevity is the soul of wit 
-though this be madness, yet there is method in it 
-hamlet is either gone crazy or acting like he has while talking to polonius about his daughter 
-hamlet was faking when speaking to polonius 
-hamlet is friends with rosencrants and guildenstern 
-for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so 
-what a piece of work is a man 
-the play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king 
-hamlet feels like a coward because he isn't able to speak up about his problems 
-the more he thinks about how he hasn't killed his uncle the more he beats himself up
-he's really harsh in himself 
-talk is cheap and its action that is required 
-I'll have these players play something like the murder of my father before mine uncle (this is considered the play within a play)
