Hamlet: 2nd Post (Act Two)

In Act Two of Hamlet we begin to understand King Claudius's character better. I have learned that Claudius is more concerned with the well being and motives of Hamlet more that he is concerned with his own country. With Fortinbras on his tail, he still manages to ignore all major conflicts. However Claudius isnt the only one that isnt doind his job. I beliebe that Hamlet is begining to become blindsighted by love and greed. Also I believe that Hamlet is not taking his duties seriously, and he is more focused on taking down King Claudius, than dealing with things that could determine the countried future.
Another thing that draws my attention to Act Two is the :play with in a play". This reminds me of Shakespeare's other play "A Midsummers Night Dream", because that play also contained a "play with in a play". However the play presented in Hamlet, is very different than the one presented in A Midsummers Night Dream. The only reason for Hamlet putting on this play is to get under Claudius's skin about the death of his father. Hamlet believes that the King should feel as much grief as he does, and Hamlet is doing his best to make him feel giulty as well as responsible for the death of his beloved father. He put on this play to hopefully make his mother and step father realize the messege that he was trying to get across to them, rather that causing a physical confrontation. I can say that Act Two was muct more eventful and easier to read than Act One.
