Hamlet is amazed and so confused that the court decide that the Prince is mad, after which hamlet decides to feign insanity. He is trying to get irrefutable proof of guilt of Claudius. The king, realizing that “Hamlet is not mad, and pretending to be with a purpose", sends to him his friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern that they for the appropriate fee discover what is actually in the mind of Hamlet. But Hamlet, realizing the true purpose of their arrival, them nothing opens, pointless monologues in response to their inquiries.
