I have a question that I would like to ask the ghost. Why wouldn't you talk to Gertrude instead of Hamlet? Not only would that make her believe your son immediately, but you could use her to help get your revenge on Claudius. Wouldn't that be more simplicit?
I was really mad with Gertrude in this scene because she agreed to let Polonius spy on her with Hamlet. Talk about unmotherly! I felt really bad for Hamlet because it seems that everyone is conspiring against him. He really has only one person (Horatio) that he can trust. I know he yells at his mother, but in the same situation, I probably would too.
In this scene, Gertrude allows Polonius to spy on Hamlet while he comes to yell at her. Hamlet gets mad at his mother for marrying his uncle, and as she cries out for help, Polonius loses his cover. Hamlet, thinking it's Claudius stabs wildy, killing him. The ghost then appears, but does not make himself visable to Gertrude, causing her to think Hamlet's mad. He then tells her about the sketchy trip to England and his suspisions. He exits, dragging Polonius's corpes behind him.
