Document Summary
In this first scene readers are introduced to the current king of denmark, claudius and . Claudius discusses the following matters, first is the death of the old hamlet which claudius believes isn"t important enough to worry about which brings us to the next topic. Claudius believes that old hamlet"s death shouldn"t disrupt their plans on getting married. Wittenberg: hamlet is unaware that ophelia is warned about him by laeretes which is ironic because he says. His greatness weighed, his will is not his own, For he himself is subject to his birth. This is risky because they are yet to discover the intensions of a ghost of a dead king who won"t even speak to you and one can"t predict what can occur.
