BAITING

In Hamlet there is tons of baiting. One of them is when Claudius sends Rozencrants and Guildenstern to find out whats up with Hamlet and also when they send him off to England. Pretty much Hamlet just ignores them and gets out of the whole England thing. Another one is when Reynaldo is sent to spy on Laertes and Laertes gets mad at everyone and is mad that someone would have a spy watch him.

Question II

Evan's Question- Why does Claudius want to send Hamlet to England specifically, and not somewhere else? Like Tahiti? lol.
I think that Claudius sent Hamlet to England because its a populated place and he still has a chance to change his future and be able to start over again. I think that Claudius doesn't really hate Hamlet he is just annoyed by him and how he is snooping around and acting crazy. Claudius wanted to give Hamlet a chance to live a some what good life.

Worldviews Hamlet Has Growm Up With

Some of the worldviews that Hamlet has grown up with is having the pressure to become the next king. His father influenced him tremendously and pushed him to be a great leader so that the people can look up to him. Hamlet was ready to take the thrown; But since Claudius owned him and took his spot he is pissed about that whole thing. Another influence might be his corruption and weirdness that he got from his mom. His mom is strange and did marry Hamlets uncle so...... ya a little creepy. Her whole marriage is a little messed up. So Hamlet probly was influenced by that; and that is why he is so weriod around Ophelia and stuff.
