10. With a partner, read the dialogue between Polonius and Ophelia in Act 2, Scene 1 (lines 83-133), in which Ophelia describes Hamlet’s peculiar appearance and behavior. Quickly sketch Hamlet’s appearance as described by Ophelia, paying attention to her description of his clothes and posture. Add your sketch to our “mad Hamlet” gallery. Discuss with your partner: This is the first sign of Hamlet’s “antic disposition.” Why do we hear of it only through Ophelia, rather than seeing it on stage? How does it affect Ophelia? How does Polonius interpret Hamlet’s behavior—what does he think is the cause of Hamlet’s madness?
