Performance Choices

I performed the section of Act 2, Scene two on page 755 of the textbook and I played the part of Polonius. It was very interesting to play this particular character in the context of this scene because he has two distinguished characters within the character of Polonius. He starts of in a scheming manner as he plots with the king and the queen and then once Hamlet enters, he plays it cool without playing into Hamlet's craziness. Polonius also has to be aware that the king and the queen are hiding and listening without being obvious to Hamlet that they are spying on him.
