Inside the castle the new King addresses his assembled court, speaking of the old King’s death, and of his own marriage. He tells them of the Norwegian threat. Laertes requests that he may return to Paris, and Hamlet asks permission to go back to his university. The Prince appears sullen and withdrawn, so both the King and the Queen try to console him for the death of his father. When he is left alone on the stage, however, Hamlet reveals the cause of his sorrow- not his father’s death, but his mother’s remarriage. Horatio greets Hamlet, and tells him of the Ghost’s appearance. They arrange to meet on the gun-platform with the guards
