Hamlet act 1 scene 3 setting?
The scene may be set at the harbor of the local town of Elsinore, as in the BBC production with Derek Jacobi. Laertes says that his luggage (his "necessaries") are embarked, and Polonius notes that the wind is right for sailing and commands Laertes to go aboard. The harbor setting gives an immediacy to these comments. On the other hand, many productions set this scene indoors where it would be more appropriate for Laertes and Ophelia to be discussing her sex life. Nothing in the script explicitly says that the ship is actually present where they have their leavetaking.
