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.

Hamlet's "friends" say that Hamlet is distracted but they do not know why.They do admit that Hamlet seems up to something, crafty, when he does not make sense.
