You are the Director! (Act III)

First line: upbeat, emphasize the word more to compliment Ophelia and he is upset with his mother. Then Hamlet should lie down beside Ophelia's feet. To add some comic relief, Hamlet should look up at Ophelia and just stare at her. Polonius needs to be surprised in his next line because he is protective of his daughter. Since there is a comma after Lady, there should be an awkward pause to make the scene more uncomfortable. Also Hamlet should empathize the word lap. Ophelia is dismissive in her rejection, however she remains respectful. Hamlet alters his seductive tone to be more direct. He knows what he wants and has given up on being witty and charming. Hamlet will emphasize the word country since he is making a sexual reference. He attempts to make up for his poor decision but Ophelia does not want anything to do with the conversation anymore. Hamlet responds in a creepy voice and Ophelia is confused by what he means. Hamlet chooses not to explain himself and she becomes sarcastic and uninterested. In line 77, Hamlet should emphasize the words: "cheerfully" and "died" to assert that he upset with his mother and devious uncle. He chooses not to be subtle with his words anymore and is clearly very angry with his mother and how merciless she is towards his father's death. Ophelia alters her attitude once again and is now concerned with how Hamlet is speaking to her. She recognizes his aggravation, sadness, and insanity. She corrects him to refrain herself from getting involved with the issue at hand. Hamlet is still sarcastic because he believes people should always remember his father for who he was. Gertrude affirms that he needs to let go and move on, so Hamlet is "shocked" that people still remember his father even though he didn't "build a church."
