NOT there was justification for the lines IN
which Hamlet wonders II the ghost may
not have been creation OF MS own mlnu'
was discussed and II was decided tnat
there was complete justification AMONG
the points developed In support OIL tnis
theory we're the facts that the ghost came
in the shane OF Hamlets father; that IT
would moi spclk to any one but Hamlet;
i that Ii vanished at cock crow, as would a
| guilty thing; that 1t played ON Hamlet $
| love for his father and on mis- bitterness
toward his uncle on account of the over
| hasty marriage; that IL prompted the lrihte
/ to ayenge murder OF which no rFcol
| wes given, the object OF which vengeance
| being one whom Hamlet naturally hated.
The lines following those referred to- II
| have grounds moro relative that tn's =
were understood to be in harmony With
| the character of Hamlet, as he e;ilcnsly
| preferred to wait and be convinced OF the
guilt OF his uncle instead of rushing ierk-
| essly into the commission OF an act WHICH,
so far az his knowledge extended, might
| have been murder on his part.
The omission OF the Interruptions oil the
players speeches by polonious and Ham
lot would have the effect. it was de-
cided, of causing an audience to fell to
see Hamlet's eagerness TO reach the pax
OF Hecuba in the play. This was conjd-
cred to be a cue 10 watch this particular
portion OF the play.
The matter of the sudden change OF sub
feet in Hamlet's second speech, after Polo
NOUS enters. was discussed apd 1t was
decided that the prince took this means oil
throwing Polonious of the track of the real
subject of their conversation, rs well az
to excite his curiosity, OF which he seemed
to possess no small amount.
