Polonius dispatches his servant Reynaldo to France with money and written notes for Laertes, also ordering him to inquire about and spy on Laertes’ personal life.

|
|
 | |  |
| Go spy on Laeties' personal life for me will you. Here take this money and these notes for him. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Yes my Lord, if you say so... | |
| | |
|

As Reynaldo leaves, Ophelia enters, visibly upset. She tells Polonius that Hamlet, unkempt and wild-eyed, has accosted her. Hamlet grabbed her, held her, and sighed heavily, but did not speak to her.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| How now, Ophelia! What's the matter? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| My lord I was in my room sewing when Hamlet breaks in with his stockings down to his ankles! | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
Polonius speculates that this lovesickness might be the cause of Hamlet’s moodiness, and he hurries out to tell Claudius of his idea.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Hamlet must be mad with his love for you! Ever since you distanced yourself from him. Come we must tell the king! | |
