Act I Scene Ii Rosencrantz And Guildenstern
648 wordsThe scene begins with Claudius questioning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The two tells the king what they have found out about Hamlets madness (which is nothing), but leaves out the important truth that they have already revealed to Hamlet that they were sent for as spies by the King.
