| Ophelia sings series of sad songs and is mourning over the loss of her father. |
|
 | (sings) By Gis and by Saint Charity, Alack, and fie for shame! Young men will do't, if they come to't; By Clock, they are to blame. Ouoth she "before you tumbled me, You promised me to wed." Sweet ladies i pray you good night, good night. | |
|
| Oh the dear Ophelia sings of distracted thought. The loss of her father has pained her sadly great King. (hears a noise) But who is this, that invades our castle? | |

|
| Laertes barges into the kings' and Queens' castle looking for his father. Polonius tells Laertes that Hamlet has killed him. |
|
| O thou vile King, give me my father! Where may he be? | |
|
| Your father was killed by Hamlet's own hands! He is dead, Laertes! | |
|

|
| King Claudius encourages Laertes to seek revenge on Hamlet and shares with him a plot to kill the Hamlet. |
|
| Ahh, i shall seek revenge in rage over this foul murderer. Your nephew will become of nothing when i am done with him! | |
|
| Yes, yes, i agree young Laertes. And if you love your father dearly, you shall seek his revenge. If he is to come back from England then you shall challenge him to a duel. If he wins, then we will let him drink poison. | |
