2. This scene is significant because it is the first time we have witnessed Hamlet going insane and it develops a possible reasoning behind Hamlet's decline in sanity.
3. Why has Hamlet chosen to act out in this way? What was the significance in his actions? Does Polonius really think Hamlet has gone mad from being barred from his love? Does Polonius really think he misjudged Hamlet's personality or does he think Hamlet is just throwing a fit to get Ophelia back?
4. Polonius says "This is the very ecstasy of love, whose violent property fordoes itself and leads the will to desperate undertakings as oft as any passion under heaven that does afflict our natures." I really like this quote on the nature of love, that it causes people to do things they would normally never do. This justifies Hamlet's madness caused by love.
