8. What advice do both Laertes and Polonius give to Ophelia?
Laertes and Polonius both tell Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet, especially for sexual reasons, because it sullies the family name and her own reputation, as he would not be able to provide for her at that moment.
9. What is particularly “foul, strange, and unnatural” about King Hamlet I’s death? (see 1.5)
Claudius killed the elder Hamlet through poison and stabbing, but everyone was convinced that he was bitten by a snake in the castle gardens.
10. What does Hamlet write down after seeing the ghost? Where does he write it?
Hamlet promised to remember his father/his father’s death, and does so by writing the vow down in his notebook.
11. To what oath does Hamlet make Horatio and Marcellus swear?
They are sworn by Hamlet’s sword to not tell anyone what they have seen (the ghost & Hamlet conversing with it).
