Hamlet
Act 3, Sc 1, lines 1-49: Sum up the report from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern and explain what they say about Hamlet in line 8. (LINE 8 IN BOLD AND ITALICS)
Enter King, Queen, Polonius, Ophelia, Rosencrantz,
Guildenstern.
King. And can you by no drift of conference
Get from him why he puts on this confusion,
Grating so harshly all his days of quiet
With turbulent and dangerous lunacy?
Rosencrantz. He does confess he feels himself distracted,
But from what cause he will by no means speak.
Guildenstern. Nor do we find him forward to be sounded,
But with crafty madness keeps aloof
When we would bring him on to some confession
Of his true state.
