Act 3, Sc. 2, lines 256-271: What effect does Claudius' reaction have on Hamlet's conflict and on the play's developing action?

Ophelia. The King rises.

Hamlet. What, frighted with false fire?

Queen. How fares my lord?

Polonius. Give o'er the play.

King. Give me some light. Away.

Polonius. Lights, lights, lights.

[Exeunt all but Hamlet and Horatio]

Hamlet. Why, let the strucken deer go weep,

The hart ungalled play;

For some must watch while some must sleep,

Thus runs the world away.

Would not this, sir, and a forest of feathers, if the rest of my

fortunes turn Turk with me, with two provincial roses on

my razed shoes, get me a fellowship in a cry of players?

Horatio. Half a share.

Hamlet. A whole one, I.
