Ashton and Eli
Lines 1-28
We would portray Claudius as a very demanding and confident character in this scene as he expects Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to say that Hamlet has been acting extremely weird; however, after Hamlet's two friends exclaim that he was acting like a gentleman, Claudius's face should become shocked and dissappointed. Claudius should emphasize turbulent and lunacy to reveal his beliefs of what Hamlet has been acting like. Moreover, it appears the Gertrude wants Hamlet to reveal his mistakes, and she wants to know more as to why Hamlet is acting so weird. Thus, Gertrude should also reveal a more demanding tone towards Hamlet's friends. Lastly, Claudius in line 28 expresses a deceptive tone as he is not content that Hamlet has not revealed the same mysterious nature towards his friends that he did towards him and Gertrude. We would also emphasize "assay him" and "pasttime" on lines 16-17 from Gertrude and "it doth much contempt me" on line 27 by Claudius.
