- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern see Hamlet and tell him they just wanted to visit. But Hamlet knows the king and queen sent them. He stops them from confessing and explains the reason they were sent. His explanation being his change in attitude, as he goes into why he has a sudden despair for life.
- After talking to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet sees Polonius. Shortly after talking to him, Hamlet is introduced to the players. To see their talent, he asks them to recite a speech. He is impressed by their ability to show emotion.
- Hamlet is angry at himself after watching the actors recite a speech in such a passionate way. He feels guilty that they can express so much emotion for something that isn't even attached to them, and he can't get the revenge he feels his father deserves. This leads him to the idea that the play should display a situation very similar to what happened to his father, in hopes his uncle will notice the on-the-nose show and confess.
