The essence of the scene is the fact that it's morning and he has to leave. They go on at some length about how, for them, daytime is bad and nighttime is good. Collect all the different ways they say that. Then connect it to the rest of the play. Why is daytime bad for them? Are they out of step with the rest of the world in any other ways? What other ways does the play connect them with nighttime (hint: look at his first speech in the balcony scene)? These sorts of questions will help you piece together the evidence and connect it to the play as a whole.Posted by Hamlet on April 10, 1997 at 11:22:36
